Nope,its not Raby ASD,though we had a few out of there years ago,till a "News Of The World" reporter posed as a lamper,and hoodwinked a team of cleveland lads into taking him poaching on the estate,took a few fallow,and did a spread on the nights events the following week we thought it unwise to lamp the place after that The places local to me now are Bushy Park,and Richmond Park,both in West London,though I am a few thousand miles from there at the moment so they dont seem so local after all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I have seen white fallow does wild in lincolnshire and white fallow bucks in staffordshire. never seen a white roe but i have tried for one a couple of times but never saw it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is there roe and muntjac in Clumber park? or is it mainly fallow? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is there roe and muntjac in Clumber park? or is it mainly fallow? theres loads of fallow, red and roe in clumber park mate people tell me they have seen muntys but i personally aint you would think that if they are in there they should be all over the way they breed as it is perfect for them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It could take many years for the muntys to build up sufficient numbers to make themselves obvious. Saying that, you would think they would get knocked over on road....they have made it right up to the south side of the R Humber, so i guess on the map they are much further north than Clumber, but perhaps their journey west is cramped a little by the A1 or something.... would be interesting to find out...

foxdropper 17,092 Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 A good bloke would know by the slots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxy 1 Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 theres only a few spots in clumber were not that many people walk through this is where all the deer are because elsewhere in clumber it is full of pet walkers and mountainbikers and of course doggers as for you foxdropper i know what size a f****** munty slot is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
