ochre Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Wabbitbosher and I spent a day decoying pigeon in Northamptonshire. Excellent spot with loads of options. Had a good day - ended up with about 12 birds. Added bonus was we saw a large family of muntjac deer close up. Thanks - I hope to return the favour shortly!

ochre Posted September 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 You must have a colossal amount of land to sustain that rate of incoming birds, Rob??? Are you the Pied Piper of Staffordshire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invector Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Don`t think you saw `a large family of muntjac` as these deer breed every seven months and are very territorial, so youngsters find their own ground and don`t live in family groups. You would normally be lucky to find a doe and fawn at foot possible with a buck in tow, waiting to mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 sure they wernt roe deer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 there is a massive difference between mut and roe, i very much doubt they could be mistaken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ochre Posted October 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 I'm no expect on our four-legged friends. It was nice to see 'em scampering about whatever they were. It could have been a large family of roe deer pretending to be muntjac - watch out for this new species of spooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invector Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Muntjac are not herd animals and are solitary most of the time. They breed on a seven month cycle and as soon as the fawn is dropped the buck will serve her. Youngsters will leave to find their own territory and are made unwelcome. I would expect to find a doe with fawn at foot being courted by one or maybe two bucks but they do not go about in large family groups.

old rooster Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 I too have enjoyed a couple of shooting forays with 'bosher, sound bloke like all the others I've met off this forum. Will have to get together again for another day when the rape shooting gets going, trouble is most of the rape around here is getting away at a rapid rate due to the mild weather.

Nicky Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Nice one Ochre, You'll have to come and have another bash on my land. The rape backs up to the large wood this time and were getting loads of pheasants as well. No monk jack yet, but had a couple of foxes. (they just dont taste the same though).
