Muntjac in Reigate

[SussexSteve]

Be interested to know if anyone’s seen a muntjac or how close they know they are to Reigate thanks

Ive seen them sporadically on Headley heath ( Top end of Mill lane if you know the area well) whilst driving to work.

Interesting - I have a fairly large chunk of ground that I stalk just the other side of the M25 from there and I've never seen any evidence of muntjac (albeit there's a lot of roe!).

My best man who is a retired vet lives between Reigate and Crawley. His comment is there are munties but not that many.

Lots on Ranmore and Box Hill so only a matter of time.

The thing about muntjac is that by the time you're seeing not many there are many.

Makes sence Where I see them on Mill Way (not lane as I origonally called it) is only a mile or so from Box Hill

Plenty on leith hill / pitch hill and on Whitedown near Dorking. I have shot a couple near Leigh so not far as the crow flies from Reigate !

I used to see them and shoot them all around Virginia waters loads on Wentworth estate
And that was 12 years ago.

They have made it further East as far as Hawkhurst apparently. I believe that population is already "under pressure" ...possibly even "red list". Whether introduced or not, who knows?
Every now and then a pair would appear looking like aliens that had beamed down from a starship just West of Canterbury. Somebody obviously trying to establish them. A thankless and fruitless effort. Foxer's bonus ball according to the 'keeper.
