a mate of mine went to melton mowbray market in leicestershire a couple of weeks ago where a munty fetched over £100 i ask £35 for a roe doe and £40 for a buck is that about the going rate our should i be asking more.
i have seen um in the county around the shepshed areaDo you shoot Roe in Leicestershire. I live in the county but have never seen Roe.
I always get at least £6.00 per lb on muntjac haunches as loads of people have never tried it and want to and most of them request more if its available .

There are about 15-20 in the Shepshed area also a few on a estate in loughborough and a handfull near CoalvilleI have heard that they are about but certainly not in a shootable quantity. Not where I am at any rate. Was hoping that there was another part of the county that was over run by them.

1 nice buck was killed on the M1 near JCT22 in the summer.Melton Market sometimes sells the odd deer and the
prices are always double the going rate.
Howa i believe the roe at Shepshed are being spared as the guy who has the shooting rights is determinedWell lets hope they dont get hit hard then or they will never get established in any numbers. Would be great to see one.
I had not heard about the Sika but i suppose that there may be 1 or 2 escapees from park collections,
Fallow are also on the move southbound from Nottingham towards the Leicester area, i have a shoot on
the Notts/Leics boundary which hold a few munties but a Fallow was seen on the farm next door a couple
of weeks ago, Just waiting for the Roe to take advantage of my kind offer of food and protection !!!
Me too Howa we have only in the last few years been graced with Muntjac and numbers are low so i leave themI know a farmer near loughborough who has seen fallow. Again not in any number and if true we need to leave them be. I even leave the muntjac alone. Had three on the lawn recently which was lovely to see. However I do know that local vermin controllers have been told to wipe them out.
