not sure to be honest but last summer i was up a highseat for a fox and there was 4 mature muntjac bucks milling around beneath me all within 20 meters of each other. I have also shot 3 mature bucks and seen more from a single session from a highseat. Dont know what that tells you about the territory size but its what ive observed.
From what ive seen the population of a piece of ground has more to do with habitat and food than anything else. Cover crops and pheasant feeders will attract muntjac. I ironically just lost a piece of moderately productive ground as the owners son wanted to put down some pheasants. they were good enough to let me shoot until the beginning of the season by which point i was seeing an increasing population of deer no doubt attracted by the increased cover and food supply. Hopefully the penny will drop with the owners and they will ask me back.
Hi Pete
Or he will apply for f.a.c and daddy will buy him a .243 like what happened to me after 3 years loyal stalking always took them a haunch, a bottle of wine dropped in for a coffee most Sunday mornings told them where I'd been what I'd seen n shot etc but nope still stuck the knife in!

View attachment 35127 These 2 old warriors were taken from the semi urban 90 acres Sunday, first stalking to high seat the second at dusk, they were with 100 metres of each other and often in the same area. Ive only stalked this ground since June but to date taken 5 and would estimate at least another 10 according to trail cams, a massive amount of that ground is open pasture, playing fields and lawned areas so those numbers are in what amounts to around 10 acres of scrub and wood
