Munty Male

[Guest snatch flcc]

I Found some pics on my camera today and they brought back memories, I remember it as if this happened This Morning!

 

I was walking my dogs on the lead up a busy road and saw a muntjac get up to my left about 15ft away! my spaniel saw it and gave chase into the wood away from the road, I thought she would come back after a few mins but I waited for about 10-15mins calling her but she did not return??

 

I decided to walk down the road to a suitable entrance to the wood and carried on calling but walking to where I thought she might be. I decided to let 2 lurchers off the lead as they sometimes help when a dog gets lost, I came to a clearing and was whistling and listening when I thought I could here some faint screams but thought naah cos my spaniel would never catch a Muntjac, I listened again and my two lurchers picked up on it and ran in the direction of the noise, I ran after them and eventually caught them up to find they had hold of a big male Muntjac!

 

I am amazed that my spaniel had managed to hold it for so long, she must have had it for a good 15 minutes before reinforcements arrived! I dispatched it quickly and took it home for the pot! When I had a look at the Munty afterwards I noticed that it been through the wars with old tears in its ears, it had a good set of antlers and teeth, I am convinced that this beast was either ill or old because a fit young animal would have easily powered away from my spaniel, just goes to prove that when hunting the weak and suffering are the first to go!

 

Here are the pics!
