Stoney Creek 2025 Spring Sika Hind Hunt Competition

THANK YOU FOR GetTING involved in A Hunting Competition with a real difference

Stoney Creek 2025 Spring Sika Hind Hunt Competition

That’s a wrap on the 2025 Stoney Creek Sika Hind Hunt, Trout Fishing Competition, and Community Wild Foods BBQ!

This entire competition exists to help protect what we love most as outdoor people, and to make sure we’re doing our part to look after it for the next generation.

This year’s event was a true celebration of providing for our families and championing the use of wild game.

A huge thank you to all our event partners for getting in behind the 2025 event.

Our Stoney Creek family also want to extend a massive thanks to you. From the Taupō locals who supported the event, through to all the families and mates who travelled to be here with us today.

Thank you.

And a big shout-out to our incredible event sponsors. We couldn’t run an event like this without a pretty epic prize table. Please make sure to show your support to the awesome sponsors and businesses listed below.

We’ve got an exciting announcement coming soon, so stay tuned to see what’s next.
