Stalking Irish Sika with Chris Dalton
This week Irish Safari invites Chris to Ireland to stalk sika ahead of the rut. The unusual, warm weather saw most activity occurring during darkness, with brief periods of movement at first and last light. Prior to the trip, Chris also has the opportunity to test Leica’s new thermal – the Calonux View – thanks to Scott Country International.
