RE: Adaptive Deer Management (ADM) &amp; Research Plan Kaimanawa &amp; Kaweka 

New Zealand Deerstalkers Association (Hastings Branch) will host the Sika Foundation to explain and discuss the planned ADM within parts of the Northwestern Kaweka from Mid-May to Mid-June 2026.

The discussion will include:

• Sika Foundation - the story of our beginning, our goals and the crew of volunteers that make the Foundation a hunter-led conservation organisation
o Details of the Kaimanawa REZ operation as a case study – deer harvested, deer left &amp; outcomes (habitat and herd)
• Year 1 - Hinds only focus
o Discuss the potential of some juvenile (weaner/yearling) stags that maybe shot when family groups are targeted
• Year 2 – TBC
o The focus of year 2 will be determined by data collected from the Year 1 operation including deer shot, deer left, deer missed and also feedback from hunters on the quality and health of the animals harvested from that area over the 2026/27 Spring/Summer Roar periods.
• Timing: Mid-May to Mid-June 2026
• Area Managed: 11,000 ha (hi-res map attached)
• Allocated Flying time: 38 hours
• Protocols of visual confirmation of target animals
• Presentation of real-time footage of new industry leading technologies supporting the visual confirmation and identification of target animals
• Management HUNTs 
• Meat recovery and data capture
• The Sika foundation have also shared Sika population density data from the management area to ensure hunters have opportunity to hunt that area prior to any management activity
• Report-back, engagement, information sharing and further feedback prior to designing, planning and delivering any Year 2 management.
• The Kaweka community will have the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback.
