It has been stated here that Sika only use the tops to travel, and that there is very little feed.
My view is that the tops are actually a larder, but the door doesn't open until circa November through to early-ish April. So, if you want to hunt the tops, be there then. Hunt around the bush/tops margin and higher so long as there is feed. Seek out the feed areas. Slips with tutu on them are great during spring and mid summer, and then it hardens off and they don't like it so much.
For the rest of the year, they will be where you find them. I mainly hunt the mid zones, gully heads, and warm bedding areas. But they are very unpredictable, so if I say hunt the North faces during the winter you can bet you will look over and see them on a cold southerly face. Little bastards.
