- This latest film shows the honest challenges of stalking the elusive Japanese Sika in the Wicklow Mountains of Ireland, when weather was our biggest challenge!
We hope you enjoy this recount from our time with Norman Mulvany of Irish Safaris from early November 2023. If you want to book a trip similar to this contact Norman at: irishsafaris.ie

Cracking video chaps, always well made!
Glad you enjoyed it, appreciate the support. 🙏🏻
Maybe a 'Wicklow Black Ghost Continued' in winter 2024? Beautiful shot on the hind though.
Great Video 💯 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Congrats
Great video as usually 👌.
I had similar situation with wild horses in Foothills of Alberta.
Fantastic film as always, that looks hard, hard ground.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! It certainly was hard and the Sika + weather weren’t playing ball either making it even harder.
Saludos desde Argentina amigos !! Muy hermosos el cuervo Sika acá en argentina no lo tenemos
Norman looked proper pissed off at the start 😂😂😂 .
👍👍🦌👍👍🦌🦌👍👍
I’ve got some ground with sika on it in the Scottish Borders, but cud you send me a link to stalk sika in county Wicklow please? ( take me home or leave me forever) 😂
First👌
❤ your cap. Please which model is that?
Another great video.
No thermal spotters being used ?
Great job 👌 What make of rifle is that you used in the video?
Is there an issue with the sound when out on the hill?
Love the Sika and would love to go there.
Yes apologies for that, the wind ripped through the side of the mic out on the open hill, so it’s messed with the audio levels 👎🏻
Is that the same as the course deer here in the states
Couse deer
No, this species is Cervus Nippon, native to East Asia, but introduced into Ireland in late 1800’s . The Coues deer you mention are a cousin of your typical Whitetail deer (Odocoileus virginianus) 👍🏼
There’s some sika in Maryland USA, maybe you’re familiar with those deer
It looked like to be you had the barrel resting on the loaded area on your sticks??? not a good idea.
Correct. Not a good idea. Thankfully the barrel wasn’t resting on the sticks when I took the shot. As I’ve looked back to talk to camera/Norman after the shot, the rifle has slightly pulled back making the forend slip off with barrel resting on sticks instead. 🤦🏼♂️
It would be nice if silka replied to my emails regarding a faulty bino pack which let go on a hunt in the lake district causing my thermal to exit the bino pack lower strap gome away hopefully i might get a reply
Which brand is this? Sitka? Harkila? Hope you get it fixed. 👍🏼
