Hi Charlie.
These deer are Reeves muntjak thay come from south east asia china ect'.
I belive they came to England in the early 1800 hundreds. The duke of
Bedford had them in his private estate at Wooburn in Bedfordshire. A few
escaped and now they are all over the country. The bucks can go to 50Ibs
the does to 35-40Ibs they do breed all year round as there is no closed
season for them you have to shoot the pregnant does as not to orfan small
fawns thats why i mainly shoot bucks only. The meat is very nice i think it is
some of the best venison going. They are not that easy to shoot as they are
allways on the move and are a very secretive little deer. i do use a 243 win
but i like the 223 rem best as they are only a small deer.
Thanks for your reply
All the best Dave.
