Glacial Valley Hunting

GUARDIAN OF THE GLEN

Long before the roar of the stag echoes through the valleys, the hind watches silently from the cover of the forest.
Alert to every movement, every sound, and every change in the wind, the female sika is one of the true guardians of Ireland’s wild places. While the stag may command attention during the rut, it is the hind that quietly carries the future of the herd.
Raising her calves among the forests, glens, and mountains of Wicklow, she knows every hidden trail and sheltered hollow. Elusive and intelligent, she is often seen only for a moment before melting back into the landscape.
For generations, these remarkable animals have been part of the story of Ireland’s wild countryside, a reminder that the greatest experiences in the field are not always measured in trophies, but in moments of connection with the natural world.

Céad Míle Fáilte.
A hundred thousand welcomes await you in the heart of County Wicklow.
Every great hunt begins and ends with exceptional hospitality, and Glenmalure Lodge has become a home away from home for hunters visiting Ireland from around the world.
Nestled in the stunning Wicklow Mountains, Glenmalure Lodge offers comfortable accommodation, hearty Irish cuisine, and the warm welcome that Ireland is famous for. After a day spent in the hills, there is no better place to relax, share stories, and prepare for the adventures ahead.
At Glacial Valley Hunting, we believe the experience is about more than the hunt itself—it’s about the people, the place, and the memories made along the way.

Two hunters. Two Tahr. One unforgettable experience in the mountains of New Zealand’s South Island.
Steep country. Thin air. Long climbs.
The kind of terrain that gives nothing away easy.
This was a proper mountain hunt from start to finish, demanding, rewarding, and everything a Tahr hunt should be.
A huge thank you to Real Kiwi Hunting Outfitters for the professionalism, hospitality, and huge effort they put into every part of the hunt. From the mountains to the hunt itself, everything was handled to the highest standard. An unforgettable few days with genuinely good people.

The Sika of Wicklow are not easily found.
Brought to Ireland in the 1800s, they’ve long since made these mountains their own.
We hunt them on our own mountain
one that has been in our family for generations.
Quiet. Watchful.
Always aware of wind, ground, and movement.
On the open hill, they give you no second chances.
You don’t simply walk up on a Sika.
You earn the opportunity, through patience, understanding, and time spent in the hills.
Ireland remains one of the very few places in the world where you can hunt truly wild, free-ranging Sika deer.
A rare challenge.
An unforgettable experience.
