not got one, but did see a pit x grey x salukix grey  line bred in the 80s , about the same time i had my 1/4 pit 3/4 grey , both wee good dogs on foxes,  good on rabbits, had few muncjack with them as well. suppose that drop of saluki , or coursing dog  give them bit more wind, but that 1/4 pit x 3/4 grey was not bad wind, and he caught his stuff quite quick ,  a drop of bull in a lurcher , will push that bit harder for you, and as you know your self with your old stuff you had ,  they been good dogs,

I’d imagine someone’s just seen a field or a woodland with a good number of muntys present and called it a herd, not realising that they don’t intentionally herd like fallow, reds etc

There’s a few up that way, and in the north east, but they didn’t walk up there all by themselves

Caught a few in woodland but not many to be fair, and always seems to be within the first 50yds in to the wood.

A lot of large forestry blocks near me some good sport up and down the rides & valley bottoms but tend to find if the deer hits them with a bit of a gap on the dog it’s usually home & dry. (Pre ban)

From my limited experience, when folk talk about stuff like this, something like ‘heavy woodland’ is a subjective term. To me it would mean proper forestry blocks, close planted, or old growth deciduous, with no clearing, so it’s like a tangled maze. The kind of stuff you struggle to walk through, unless you’re on your hands and knees. Dogs do catch in it, but everything is stacked in the deers favour. Light and open woods or thick stuff with rides cut and clearings, are a bit different.

very true that above, more so with munjack, Christ  hit cover they just vanish in to thin air lol, but ive had couple in thick cover, the bigger the deer you got more chance i reckon , that looks great place for a mooch in the day, Buck love it in there , he think  he won the lottery  lol
