"baby deer" lmfao!

I wonder what the mature muntjac buck in velvet would have to say about being called a baby?!

Interesting, they have been in the Dane valley for a while and suspected around Rossetti on the other side of Chester. Heading our way?
 
I find it interesting that it appears taken as read that muntjac are present in the Dane valley.

Does this inform simply come from the bds census, or can any members give first hand evidence of any culls/rtas in that area?

A couple of years ago, I operated a quarry near Delamere, the guy on the weigh bridge said he saw one flash across the Fishpool junction early morning, & I used to back blade the quarry floor last thing to prevent wheel ruts freezing hard, I have seen munty slots in the sand, be interesting to know at what point the deer got into the water, as it would be difficult to get out for around three miles either way.
 
nice to know, having said that i have never seen any signs or seen one anywhere in cheshire ,not seen any roe either,
 
The farmer up the lane from me delivered hay to a horse lady in Delamare forest and while he was there she asked him to look at the two baby deer in her garden they were muntjacs this was the dane valley side of delamare
 
I shot one in Cheshire 3 years ago and have seen another 2 since near where I shot the first 1. I have also seen 2 dead on the road so they are established in Cheshire.

I take it they were Fallow I am not far from Wem. There are also Roe in Cheshire I picked up on a Cheshire shoot approx 8-10 years ago and the beaters drove 2 out of one of the woods. I still pick up but not on the same shoot.

In very low numbers they are difficult to locate. The shoot that the Roe were driven out of the drive were the first time seen a Buck and Doe the following season there were three possibly the same Buck and Doe with a follower as I worked the woods picking up there was very little sign they were there.

Paul, they seem to be on they're way over to us. A mutual friend of ours saw one near Northop whilst standing on a drive. Other sightings have been made over towards Wrexham so they are here..... somewhere!
