Description

Stalking Muntjac will give you a better understanding of this fascinating species and how to manage its population in a responsible and humane way. Graham Downing shares his knowledge of the origin and spread of Muntjac, detailing their natural history.

Muntjac were introduced to Britain from their native China in the nineteenth century and they have spent the past hundred years colonising southern and eastern England.

The phenomenal success of the Muntjac population has sometimes brought it into sharp conflict with those who make their living in the countryside, with conservationists and road users alike.

As a result, and with no natural predators to control their numbers, muntjac numbers need to be managed. To the deer stalker this presents a new sporting opportunity, for though they may be the smallest of our deer species, muntjac are nonetheless a challenging and absorbing quarry to hunt.

Downing covers the pursuit of muntjac on foot, the use of high seats and calls, and even the rare opportunity to stalk barking muntjac by sound alone.

For the stalker who is interested in trophies there is advice on the preparation and measuring of heads, while nobody who enjoys locally sourced food, fresh from the countryside, can fail to be enthused by his notes on muntjac cookery.
