Ninja,
Don't know nuthin about no mouse deer but can tell you all about mice.haha
Where you from??? or where you going to school at/ I live about 4 miles from WVU

NH,

The Hunting report just sent out an e-mail regarding hunting in Vietnam. One of the hunters was lucky enough to bag one of these monsters...

Vietnamese Mouse Deer

The Hunting Report says that the hunt was booked by Harv Hollek (Tel. 206-285-6868. E-mail: hhollek@aol.com). I don't know much about the booking agent, FWIW.

The main quarry was buffalo.

When I lived in Malaysia, we had mouse deer. They were VERY tiny poodle sized, though I dont know if they were they same as the vietnamese... I imagine they were.

It looks like a 1.77 pellet gun is overbore for these pipsqueaks.

What the heck would you use for them? A 22?

Live in barbour county oh and sent a email out to see what the price was for that bad boy!! ^_^

Indonesia has them - they call them rusa tikus. You'll have a hard time hunting them in Indonesia, but then again, I'm not sure what the attraction of hunting them would be. (No offense intended, of course.)

I mean, if you live where they have them that might be one thing, but to go on an expensive trip to hunt something the size of a squirril? It seems to me one could get more bang for his buck elsewhere.

As an aside, in James Clavell's first novel, "King Rat", the prisoners in a WWII Japanese prison camp in Singapore raised rats to sell to their fellow prisoners for food. They told them they were these mouse deer.

(James Clavell is the author of Shogun, Tai Pan, Nobel House, etc. He actually served in just such a prison camp so maybe he's writing from personal experience, I don't know. "King Rat" is a great read, by the way.)

it would be in conjuntions with other animals of corse it be like a duiker or Dik Dik.

Looks like a muntjac fawn. Seeing as muntjac orininated from this area and that a giant version has been found it seems logical that there should be a miniature version.

N.Hunter,

Texas is full of them!
