Muntjac

Who used to hunt these pre ban and What dogs did you use for the job? And where they as tough as the stories. Cheers cooksta

Only hunted them a few times and that young dog you have should be ideal for them. My fx salukigreyhound i had nailed one at ten month old and it was the first one he had ever seen after it came out of some brambles and ran across a field. If i was inclined to get another lurcher for small deer like roe and muntjac i would look no further than the coursing bred saluki hybrids tbh.

Munty bucks can be tough there solid lil deer, half the battle with them is finding one out in the open long enough when they hit cover they deffo got the advantage normally they'll go from cover to cover and thick stuff too, riddled with munty where I am hear them more than you see them but if you got a dog that works cover well you'll see plenty

Iv'e caught hundreds of the things over the years and the best dog i saw was mine on them,she was built like a brick shithouse but only 23/4 inches tall and had a dose of bull in her.She loved teeth as well and she loved the ruck a muntie can give back at times and iv'e seen the next best small deer dog )chinks,munties,roe) killed by a muntie putting it's antler through the dogs neck and out it's ear,that dog was coursing bred saluki type..I'd go for a heavier bodied dog than a saluki x and one with some bottle in the line as there tough little buggers and iv'e stitched up a lurcher more than once and burried another due to them,but there good sport and taste better then a stinky old fallow and you can hide them inside a baggy coat should you have to... I see them every day on my 2 mile drive to my works yard and it's making me a bit  itchy for a running dog again..

We know you fecking know everything but like i say i've taken hundreds of them with lurchers over the years and to so as a main prey item as such you need a dog with some build to it,them feckers hit dence cover without slowing and you need a dog built to be able to do so to and a  coursing bred dog ain't built like that..There'll take them in the open yes i know but most muntie hunting isn't done far away from cover and a tight or thin skinned dog will get itself a few scars along the way..

Never hunted them my self but a couple of men I know who have said they hedge hug and will do their best to battle we a dog , unlike a roe for instance that fly like rockets but knock over easy and stay down we a bit of pressure

You don’t get them round here. Healthy numbers of roe , sika over hill and there is reds up dales if you know , I have heard of them hybridising with sika but I’d imagine they’d soon get plugged we stalking men

Them roe take some stopping in day time on good ground . A fit and healthy one will tram on as good as any hare as you know

the big bucks take a bit a stopping when they open up and some are descent size but i can count one hand the amount my dogs missed in its life out a hundreds mate hes missed more hares they take a lot more stopping and are a lot faster i think 

[mC HULL 15,501]

it’s all opinions like we all see differnet dont we but any strong  male lurcher is normal just that and from pups bones all the time so they have a descent mouth a bit a strength in the jaw 

seen them pups bob there a credit mate you’ve done them proud

Yeah that's why we use salukis over here to get boars out of blackberry, lol. Why do you feel threatened about different types of dogs being better at certain jobs than yours? You need help mate.
