Get involved in A Hunting Competition with a real difference
Help us maintain a healthier sika herd and celebrate the table quality of sika venison
Stoney Creek 2025 Spring Sika Hind Hunt Competition
1st October - 15th November 2025
Stoney Creek and Our Backyard Trust have teamed up with Helisika and the Sika Foundation, along with our awesome sponsors to bring you a mission with purpose. Join the hunt to manage our valuable Sika Deer resource, help reduce our over abundant hind population and give our mighty velvet stags the best chance to dominate come the roar hunting season.
Through the Stoney Creek 2025 Sika Hind Hunt Competition we aim to bring together the passionate sika hunting community to celebrate ethical hunting, herd management, and the sustainable use of wild resources. From the backcountry to the BBQ, Sika venison is some of the finest wild meat in the country, perfect for feeding the family.
We’re excited to continue evolving the competition to make it bigger and better each year, with more community initiatives that support the same purpose and even a trout fishing competition on the horizon. Watch this space — it’s only going to get better and better.
Lock, load, and let the challenge begin, every hind harvested helps the herd, and every entry puts you in the draw to win epic prizes!

Here at Stoney Creek we are obsessed with the outdoors, that’s where our passions are and what we staunchly want to protect for future generations. That’s why we are looking to grow this Hunting Competition to include a Trout Fishing Competition. We are in discussions with the local community and governing bodies, and look forward to bring the region a premier trout fishing competition to make this a truly spectacular outdoors event which promotes the outdoors, the community and conservation efforts to protect those things we care about most.
