Tiny 7 1,694 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 did a lot of deer years ago but i'm getting too old now. and i dont fancy doing any more bird LOL. muntjac are surprisingly fast over a short distance and can turn a bit as well. specially when put up in the open and know where safety is they could be a bit tricky but pushed OUT of cover a dog would get up to them pretty quick. once the dog had one the fun really started cause they are tough little feckers and have skin like leather and will fight like b*****ds. seen a few dogs severly chivved up by them. seen bucks take the fight to a dog too. little deer with big hearts!! water deer could get overheavy if feeding well in a mild winter and the fat buggers weren't too hard, but a fit water deer is fast and stays and turns almost like a hare. they would test even a good dog but you had to give them a fair start as often they would just watch the dog comin anf not run till the last minute. a good roe will give any dog a run for its money, and if you ran an out and out fast dog it had better take the roe in that first rush or it would be made to look foolish. roe are fast and jump well, your dog had better be ready! fallow does are faster than they look but a reasonable dog would come to terms without too much trouble, but they will fight their best, kicking pretty hard so sometimes a single dog could get a bit of a battering but a good strong dog would take them regular. bucks are a different story as they are so strong. if a dog got a hold of one you better be perpared to step in and get involved cause a single dog could easy be killed by a fallow buck. especially near rut, some aren t about to run anywhere and would smash up a dog on occasion. never run red or sika. the few deer i took on the lamp just froze up or looked real confused and didnt really understand what was happening until the dog was on them so i stopped lamping deer as it was no fun for me, just stuck to daytime. but that all seems a long time ago now!! 1 Quote Link to post

gamerooster 1,179 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Apparently deer turn into slugs after dusk and carnt run by no means do they turn into slugs at night, but even a poor excuse of a dog stand a higher chance of pulling one at night than in the day, seen many poor dogs pull by simply have it run into a fence, never seen this in the day though ATB GR 1 Quote Link to post

WILF 46,573 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Certainly mate. Ive been hunting munties for a very long time. If the can breed all year round why is it ive never caught a doe that was visibly pregnant beetween the months of november and january ? Has anybody else had one that was visibly showing sighns of dropping in these months ? I doubt it very much. The deer society will also tell you that munties shed there antlers. Again total bullshit imo. Im not looking for an argument im just talking from experiance. Your not. ATB No digging on you at all matey but I have seen munty does with very well developed/ready to drop foetuses in early/ mid February which would mean that the foetus would have been pretty well developed in January surely? 1 Quote Link to post
