       I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to
       call/lure/attract sikas??
       There is a nice run of them in an area I can shoot but I can't
       seem to be able to get close enough to actually dispatch one!!
       Are they a native to ireland?? And are there hybrids of them??

       No I'll not be shooting for a while, yea the land owner actually
       made me aware of them and said to thin them out a bit, I tried a
       bit last year but was only getting glimpses of them or else they
       would be at the road side where it wasn't safe to shoot!! Quite
       a frustrating experience! Now he's come back to me asking again
       and I told him I'd try, but couldn't promise anything!! Is it
       legal to hunt them at night??

       I would be using my tikka .243 with a 90grain soft point
       bullet!!
       What would you say is the best caliber/bullet combo??

       You would need a 100 grain bullet as well anything below that is
       illegal.
