Muntjac deer,...

[J Darcy 5,871]

Back in the good old days when Muntys were a legal; quarry i once had my dog stabbed in the shoulder by a rogue buck Luckily the damage was not that bad and healed within a week or two. My quesion is, has anyone had bad experiences when hunting muntys... cheers JD

[Guest WILF]

The makings of an interesting thread JD ............to hijak the thread a little I will add this question also..........has anyone noticed that when near cover they will just try and creep past you rather than run.....wont run unless "made to"

[Guest nitevision]

I've seen pics on another forum of a lurcher who was nearly ripped in half by a muntjac - he had terrible injuries, loads and loads of stitches and drains etc. He was giving chase quite by accident I believe.

 

Never seen or even heard of muntjac till I came to the UK but they sound like wicked little blighters.

Wish we had some here.

Was that of the International Falconry Forum? (the pic of the blue/grey lurcher's side?)

Never had dealings with Muntjac here in Scotland but my whippet got savaged by a rabbit on Friday

She caught the rabbit and the blighter sunk its teeth right into her toe, it has swollen to 3x's it's size and have just had to give antibiotics!
