Muntjac Control ( Muntiacus reevesi )
This small deer can be hard to see, even in minimal cover and because they are often moving around it can be difficult to get a stable shot. Patience, predicting where the animal will appear next and learning how to stop a questing animal are the keys to success.
Individual animals may have a fairly set routine, knowing this can be used to advantage.
Baiting (e.g. with apples or carrots) may be effective as a means of culling individual animals.
In woodlands and on woodland edges, shooting is the preferred method of Search UK, at distances less that 100 metres.
Most often culled by a combination of stalking and shooting from high seats and other vantage points.
Mainly in the early mornings and late evenings, although they may be on the move all day.
The most significant damage caused by this animal is by browsing, the tendency of muntjac to eat the most succulent parts of plants brings them into conflict with managers of forests and essentially of semi-ancient and coppice woodland, as high deer densities there can be intense damage to favoured plants such as broadleaved and plantation trees and coppice, with moderate damage to a wide range of other plants and wild flowers.
Fraying may occur at any time and can be significant especially to tree plantations and gardens.
Search UK can provide fully qualified deer stalkers trained to DSC 1+2 standard to help reduce numbers of these animals in a humane and efficient manor.
