Muntjac

[CushtyJook 1,097]

Would anyone say they where the slowest easiest to catch for a running dog out of the deer species

 

Only ever ran andcaught one in my life and that was years ago (pre ban) it took the dog over a few feilds and a brook and gave some nasty marks to the in experienced young dog at the time

 

What made me ask was out walking today and put a pair of them up and they didn't look very fast compared to roe

Slip the dog lol.pre ban lol

I heard they are the easiest of all deer species to catch in the open. Not so much in dense cover or woods. They seem to have a knack of vanishing.

 

And the Bucks can give an inexperienced dog a hard time.

 

Only what ive been told from lads who did them pre ban. Lol

It's very nice mate. If you like venison that is.

If it took your dogs a fiew fields it must've been pretty sharp, or were your dogs a tad slow?

may not be the fastest but they can turn on a tanner and will use everything and anything available to gain an advantage to reach cover, once in cover they are back in there element and the advantage is reversed. young bucks can motor in the open. does will almost certainly have a young sucker hidden somewhere nearby so her main aim is to draw any predators away, old bucks will have learnt where there advantage lies.

Nothing runs flat out unless you stick a dog up its arse.

yep all very spot on. i also find some will squat in cover also in the hope you will walk by. almost rabbit like. fun little deer to run in woodland. amazes me sometimes the cover they hit and go straight through and the dog just rebounds.

On dry ground they are and any old dog with a bit of pace could catch them ,different animal on good wet ground though .

Daytime? Do you think it's ground dependent?
