About hunting in Ireland

The Emerald Isle’s mountains, lakes, and stunning Atlantic seashores offer a beautiful setting in which to pursue red deer, sika deer, fallow deer, and several varieties of feral sheep and goats in acres of wild and windswept countryside. Ireland has one of the densest populations of sika deer in Europe, and stalking these elusive animals in the ancient forests and green hills of the Irish countryside makes for a true challenge. Bird hunting in Ireland is outstanding, with some twenty species of game birds including excellent high-volume shooting for wood pigeons. The Irish are well known for their excellent hospitality and welcome visiting hunters. Opportunities for post-hunt sightseeing, hiking, and touring abound.

Wild Kerry Hunting

Outfitter

Morning hunt the guide was well prepared and organized with gear and plans. His scope was set at max power, and I wasn’t given a brief lesson on his gear, so I couldn’t find the stag in the scope. But he explained it afterwards and I was able to get a doe. He kept the doe without asking me or offering me any meat which I would have given him, but that was weird. Guide did not take payment over the bookyourhunt.com app so that made me think it maybe a scam.

Afternoon guide was a kid that didn’t know what he was doing. He was messing around on his phone during hunt. I was supposed to get picked up for hunt by 5pm but turned into 530ish due to him working his job before, but that ran into my hunting time. He overall didn’t seem like a professional, more like a casual hobbiest that the guide manager sent to ensure I could afternoon hunt.

Sika Deer

Sika deer is a smallish, but beautiful animal, and even the adults’ skins feature white spots. The bucks carry thick, branched antlers, that neither crown like with red deer nor palmate like with fallow deer
