Muntjac calling

[Greyman 33,438]

Was out last evening for my last dog toilet walk and there was a muntjac  barking away in the woods just across the water from me, so I attempt to return fire and eventually come up with an half decent bark back and low and behold I’ve called this one right out to the waters edge across from me, was quite impressed anyone else seen or heard of calling in muntjac, I’m going to have another go later if it’s not pissing down

Did turn a corner at the shotgun club and there was one not 8 feet from me .stupid little thing just stood and stared at me.eventually I just moved and he legged it barking as he did so

Had one run out at us on a shoot once, me and my pal was saying to bloke in the next peg “Go on John, shoot….shoot it John…” and he was like “No, I can’t” and we was “You can John, go on you can do it” so he shot it and all the other members shit them selves and me and my pal were “Oh John, what the f**k did you do that for ?……can’t believe you John…..” 

Me and my mate was f***ing crying and these dudes shitting a brick aeound us ! lol

I always thought that the alarm noise they make when caught by a dog is one the most blood curdling sounds there is.

Wilf.... They certainly make a racket don't they, they could get you in trouble

A Buttallo (? spelling) roe deer call works a treat and even if you imitate one they will come in to it, always found it better than barking back at them as it goes..

I didn’t know that mate and I don’t think any of them did either . lol 

There was phrases like “you’ll do time John!” and “it’s a 10 grand fine John” and “They will close the shoot down for this John”………mate, honestly it was f***ing hilarious !

Poor old John looked a broken man at the end of the day ! lol 

Gunmen tend to get a bit jumpy as opposed to lads who spend their weekends leathering pigs ! lol

Only under specific circumstances like extreme crop damage or humane dispatch.....you can't just go out and roll a munty over with a shotgun if it doesn't fall under those circumstances even though there non native and might be classed as a pest I believe there still covered in the deer act

I was beating on a shoot with LDR and a roe broke cover and Bruce pulled it.

The head keeper came running over and we thought we were in trouble, but he said “ drop the guts out of it, give me the liver and get it in your motor sharpish “ ! 
And we WERE invited back many times.

They let us run hares in between beats and the guns all watched

Cheers.

Remember Craig....was he called moorman...his son was lurcher kid...took all the great photos....he was aloud to do that on shootdays...and he was on a few different shoots up the moors...and all the guns loved to watch

Some shoots are good like that I suppose...I think with ours it was more cos they were gun dogs and should have been broke

Yeah; Moorman was a good lad, I’m sure he offered to gift me a pup one time

This was a great shoot, around 20 years ago; we got £35 for beating, our dinners, first drink bought for us in the pub afterwards, as many birds as we wanted and we could run game between beats and shoots.

One time me and Danny were up there and walking past the pens when the keeper came tearing up and said “oh, it’s you two, what you up to ? “

We said we were just running a few hares, he said , there’s three roe sitting in that dyke over there”. He watched as we ran them and my little bitch pulled a young buck;

I doubt there was another shoot in the country as accommodating to lurcher lads

Cheers.
