Penda 3,219 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Over the last few years i have noticed muntjac and roe are coming closer into the cities, i live in a fairly biult up area its not too far from country side well what you could call countryside and of lately there has been a great increase in muntjac and of have saw the odd roe lately and in the past theres a small bit of waiste land not far from me and it does hold the odd muntjac on it i know this is strange to some people but i was just wondering if any body else lives by the city and has spotted deer not far or has saw them in places that you wouoldnt expect to see them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

watchman 256 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 had the dog flush one from cover not 300yards from the main town center from a little copse on a bit of waste ground,iv seen more during the day this last week or so than at any other time, feeding on the motorway verges as well as out in the fields,im not sure if there is a large increase in the numbers or because of the grey overcast weather we have had lately they seem to really favour these conditions Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Simoman 110 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 We had the odd munty local to me, i say odd as iv'e only seen three in the last four years, but no doubt they will increase, i too have seen munties in urban areas, year before last year saw a pair feeding at the side of the motorway qeueing for crufts. Deer are much more adaptable than we think, had roe in the garden at my old house....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thorne43 1 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 near me the deer move between a block of flats. (the flats are only 4 floors) they cross out of the park across the road between the flats and into another park a few hundred meters away. its funny seeing them in between flats. the second park they go is small and mainly a kids play area. the mother in law watches them walk 5 feet from her kitchen window.
