socks 32,253 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 They can move like shat off a shovel in cover but out in the open they don't pose much of a challenge for a dog with a bit of pace ........ unless they turn it inside out I am very lucky in that the young bitch of mine can turn inside her own skin ... And is far from being a slouch ........... Quote Link to post

colliexgreyhound 119 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 This is going to make me sound like the biggest bull shiter out but anyhow i know it’s true, just before the ban i used to drive around our farm if i saw a muntjac i would get close then open the truck door and release the dog, well the dog got quite good at this and yes not very sporting i know i was young!! anyway one morning i open the farm gate by the road and half way up the track stood a little foocker seeing some beer money coming my way i let the mutt go, blue got on terms and made the deer turn 180 now heading down the track at me, thinking i was the deer catcher by hand lol i made the plan to rugby tackle it i missed it, the deer got past ran across the road missed a car with dog behind the car hit blue just clipped him knocked him over i thought that's him done but he gets up and gives chase again this time heading across next doors farm who does not like any form of hunting, his field runs along the A41 so everyone can see deer gunning for it with dog closing in fast, a quick am sorry mate to the driver who stopped i get in my truck head down to the next gate way in his field praying no one from the farm has seen they hadn't but a 7 tonner full of traveller’s had and pulled up shouting and cheering the dog on, blue held the deer down and what’s seemed like ages i get to them both, the deer was mulled but not dead so i can’t let it go farm pen knife out and job done deer over my shoulders and running for the truck, as i get to the truck the travellers pull up alongside and shout out that was top crack lol thinking quick i chuck the deer in the back of their motor thinking i won’t be caught with it saying you can have this. i put the dog in the car and did one all day i waited for next door to ring up but i got away with it i laugh at it now but i didn’t find it funny at the time lol and i bet the driver of that car filled his pants too!! I am bracing myself for the comments! I can just picture the travellers out of a man about a dog hanging out of a transit roaring "go on ya boy ye" lol 1 Quote Link to post

South hams hunter 8,926 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 http://www.thedeerinitiative.co.uk/about_wild_deer/muntjac.php The map on here does show some populations North of the Border problem with that map forester is its been taken from biodiversity website which gains data from the public, so if someone has seen something they think is a munty such as a young roe. For example few people have told me they have seen munty around Plymouth, when they've taken me to where they saw them there was roe but no munty Quote Link to post
