Muntjac. The Love- Hate Urban Deer.

[Bo Diddley]

Personally, I love Muntac. We get plenty coming into the gardens along the lane.
Both of my next-door neighbors also have large gardens backing onto farmland. Alister & Kylie on one side are avid wildlife watchers and their garden is a sanctuary for everything feathered & furry, they have a large feeder set up on the patch of grass nearest their house, and an almost tame Muntjac buck is there every morning/evening.
Mark & Julie on the other side are the complete opposite, I've seen Mark several times taking a potshot with an old Springer air rifle when they are eating his shrubs.
It's a good job we are all different, both of the situations bring a smile to my face.

I would argue that taking potshots with a springer air rifle is not a very humane solution to the problem.......

Just warning shots…..

Agreed. But if you witnessed the whole act you would agree that it is a marvelous comedy.
Mark walks/stalks around the corner of his house, muttering obscenities under his breath, he's cocking the springer as he's walking and takes a potshot at a Munty that is by then legging it across his lawn... tail up....I doubt very much if he has ever come within a whisker of stinging it's arse.
Kylie on the other side of me would go into meltdown if she knew... I can see both sides of the coin from the sofa in my kitchen.
