That doesn't look a bad set on the Roe as well
-
I haven't shot many Muntjac at all, but the ones I have had took me ages to skin. A fried told me about using an air compressor which to be honest has made things real easy on all the deer. Certainly looks like a top notch buck to me. As for taste, I'd rate muntjac right up there with roe. In fact to my mind, others might disagree and in order of preference: Best eating would be, Roe (not unlike lamb x veal), Muntjac (sort of a cross between lamb & boar. I know a few chaps who would never sell a carcass), Red (one shot fills your freezer not unlike beef), Sika (not unlike red x fallow) ,

Very nice deer, well done. Do you use an air line to skin them? John Nope! Not got the kit, know very little about this method Airskinning made easy Cheers...I've heard about this but not seen it done, certainly looks to have possibilities

We get down to individual taste and preferences, bottom line is ALL deer taste good to me, Fresh, Free Range and as Organic as you are going to get. The flavour and texture changes throughout the year but I always rate them best around this time of year, usually from late September to about mid/late October! This year is still vey mild and lots of fresh foodstuffs about so still excellent now! To answer the question, from my point of view a good Muntjac just edges a good Roe in the eating stakes! What do they taste like? Have never tried or shot muntjac as don't have t

They are pretty straightforward to fit...someone put up a picture guide on here of how to do it a while back which was first class. Have a search through and hopefully you will find it somewhere I fitted the Brookes kit on mine but they are very similar!

I wish I could help...I suspect yours is about as good as it gets...I have a Sako Mod on my .22WMR, a Sirocco on my .17HMR and a SAK on my .22lr. Little or nothing to choose between them, when the Sako or Sirocco die they will get a SAK!
-
Appreciate the response but I hope they perform a bit better than that in mine, my RFD has ordered me some from Edgar Bros and expecting them in this week...I'll see how I get on. Cheers

You are way out of line, where do you get off on these LIES and invention, you have no knowledge of what I have shot this or any other season, or what with. Just what is your problem, you really do have issues and seem to be doing your best to screw up THL. Kindly refrain from any further personal comments and LIES about me, and/or anyone else!

Very nice deer, well done. Do you use an air line to skin them? John Nope! Not got the kit, know very little about this method, and certainly not required for this chap! Skinned today and it was just so easy. Seemed a little quick but everything looked and felt good with him! He surprised me on a number of levels, excellent condition, large and unbelievably tender, beautiful colour and texture meat. The best of the best I keep, there are mixed views on Muntjac but they eat really well in my book. Some is going to an old friend who is not too well tomorow, a leg is

Drop traps also sound a possibility! .22 Shorts or Longs are also worth a try if you can find them, probably longs are best. If you do your part and aim straight then out at 50 yards the majority will stay in, so no problems. You did well to find the Flobarts, not seen any for years, they are designed for very close, 50 yards is really pushing your luck with these! Whatever, it sounds a very tricky site so beware! ATB!

Either of the above work! If you bury it be prepared for a long wait unless you find the right soil! And watch out for the squirrels as they tend to gnaw away at the antlers! Boiling can also be a bit time consuming fiddly and smelly, remove as much as possible before! You can also simply hang it in a convenient tree (at the right time of year), you would be amazed how quickly the flies/maggots take it apart! Probably some evil chemical treatment available as well! Have fun!
-
So do I...and this one is now jointed and is in excellent condition!! It is very tender and a great colour, they are all good but this is one of the best I can remember...just the right time of year!!

Hunting seasons are well published, including at the top of this forum! Simple answer is YES, but Scotland is a little different!

Great to see you are feeling a bit better, lets hope everything is 100% sorted asap! ATB!!!

12 carts are cheaper than 20 It can also be the case that 12g guns are cheaper than the equivalent 20g guns due to economies of scale MUCH wider choice of 12g guns A number 20g shotguns are based on 12g actions so little or no weight advantage in some (usually cheaper) 20g Expensive 20g shotguns (specifically designed 20's) will be a little lighter but will only be suitable for light/medium loads, put a heavy cartridge in them and you will feel it! You can do anything with a 12 you can do with a 20 but you can't do everything with a 20 you can with a 12 12g are used in

what do you mean by bulk? do you mean thousand at a time or say 5 thousand at a time, because we wont have alot to spend on carts, all our money is going towards my sparsholt savings for accomodation , that and mortgage etc so this is just what tiny bit we have spare. and where is the cheast place for carts? and can you mail order carts? is that possible? Money is always an issue and cartridges have gone up a lot in the last 2 or 3 years. lets look at this from the financial viewpoint. 20g carts are more expensive than 12 on the whole, buying any cartridge a box at a time
-
Either or both, but ...there are a million reasons why you should start with 12g! ATB
-
You really do have issues! If you have something constructive to say then fine but I struggle with this personal abuse, if that is the extent of your infantile contributions I think it better you go back to the playground!

Where do you get off with LIES and INVENTION like that! You are ******* me off now! You really do have issues!

This .243/.308 (or any other calibre) has been argued for years and will not be resolved in this thread! I'd say there are a few answers, and also a lot of pointless rubbish. If anone is not happy using a .243 (or any other calibre for that matter) on any deer, then don't use it, simple as ...I am not and never have told anyone else to use that calibre...but kindly do not tell me it is not capable of putting down any Red Stag because you are not happy using it. Now, you can argue as much as you like, I'm off to bed for a few hours!
-
Out all night, and off again later this afternoon, freezing cold and everything is soaked.... But this chap turned up...as ugly buggers go this one is ok....
-
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, even you, and if you are not happy with a .243 don't use it, I find it strange that everyone who promotes the larger calibres appears to suggest they are all knowing and the .243 is not up to the job. Very few who use a .243 chastise anyone for using a larger caliber, do what makes you happy but kindly do not suggest I cannot put down a Red Stag with a .243! I have both, use what I need and find it very strange, in the light of comments from others, that EVERY time I hit any deer with a .243 if falls down, I don't even have to chase a corpse around
