The ones in the highlands must have gone on a sight seeing trip and spent there return fare !!! Given their supposed to be secretive they get spotted easy enough ..

The one in manchester is in the middle of a town about 5 minutes from my house

Who provides the sightings? Just joe public ringing in ......not very accurate

13 week breeding cycle. Do the math. Nobody but us to control the spread. Still think they are not in Liverpool.???

Well its thr most accurate and only recognised thing we have monkey. The national biodiversity network is the full name

No I don't think they are we're on the coast and all the surrounding land is hunted by Hawks, lurcher lads, air rifles everything I think if they where there we would know. Surrounded by Knowsley, maghull, rainford, prescot and eccleston and all of it gets hammered. There's a couple of roe I know that for definite but I just can't see muntjac being here personally. They are in Preston and have been seen not far from maghull to the north so it won't be long till they are here in numbers but I don't believe they are here at this minute.

Well the bird Guys shouldn't be doing much harm but the long dogs might I guess. In all that area there must be a fair amount of woodland. These guys, as you obviously know, love broad leaf woodland with plenty of bracken and bramble. Even when stalking the things in a heavily populated area, Stanstead Forest, I found it difficult to spot them. It was only in a high seat, overlooking one of their motorways that I scored,. Twice. Strangely, we have seen more in rural areas of late. Industrial estates and the like. Can't really go whanging rounds in there.

See them stood at side of road and chomping the apples on the edge of the woods

I don't think its accurate to be honest, I know of places were muntjac have been for the last 10 year or more and there not shown on it.

[South hams hunter 8,921]

Fair enough. Cheers lads, know not to use the nbd

they always have a suckler as well as being pregnant, did you know they can hold back the pregnancy if times are hard.
