For hunters who want to test their patience and precision, the sika deer presents the perfect challenge. Native to Japan and long since naturalised in Ireland, the sika is clever, cautious, and quick to bolt at the slightest disturbance. Hunting them takes more than just gear, it takes a calm head, quiet feet, and a feel for the woods. At Suilen Hunting Ireland, we specialise in these hunts. We know where the sika roam, how they move, and what it takes to approach them without being noticed.
Our guides will take you deep into some of the most scenic and silent spots in Ireland. These hunts aren’t rushed. You’ll move slowly, stay low and wait for just the right moment. When it all comes together and you’re eye to eye with a mature sika buck, it’s a rush like no other. Whether you are here for your first time or you have hunted deer before, the sika will put your skills to the test.
