There are a few populations, one quite close to me. It has been on the news a bit over the past week:

Cohannon, this is out your direction??


Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not out to get you....

Was only ever going to be a matter of time. Like other Chinese imports, I fully expect them to conquer the continent next.

Isn't there a small population in the Netherlands?

Yep Brian, this incident seems to be the real McCoy. I've heard the local stories of muntjac sightings in my area around Newtownards, Millisle and Donaghadee. Been spending quite a few hours dawn and dusk thinning out the local foxes so maybe I'll nail one sooner than expected ... Smiler

I first heard of some that were in east Tyrone about five years ago. I wasn't convinced until a vegetable farmer friend of mine, who would not know a muntjac from a hole in the road, described one very accurately to me. He told me he saw this one in his cabbage field near the Birches at about 6.00am one morning - this is about four years ago.

There is another group around the south shore of Lough Neagh, east of where the River Bann joins the lake. Another reliable guy told me he saw a group of three in a field there last summer.

I had not heard of them in your area.

I suspect the wet terrain and boggy areas here will suit them very well.

Privately the "chinese cockle pickers" are responsible for bringing Muntjacs to Northern Ireland.
