From: Flintwood (Original Message) Sent: 6/21/2002 8:43 AM HI all, Dopes anybody know of or have any muntjac stalking available? Would be prepared to pay for good woodland muntjac stalking but would preferably like a 50/50 meat/money split with the landowner etc. Also, I have a range of stalking highseats for sale if anybody is interested. If anyone could help, please email flintwoodcountryside@hotmail.com Thanks Flintwood First Previous 2-15 of 15 Next Last Delete Replies Reply Recommend Delete Message 2 of 15 in Discussion From: moss Sent: 6/21/2002 2:01 PM ok I give up?????? Sorry I'm a little off, but what exactly is muntjac and highseats? moss Reply Recommend Delete Message 3 of 15 in Discussion From: Flintwood Sent: 6/21/2002 9:03 PM Ok, I'll try to explain: There are 6 species of deer in the UK, Red, Roe, Muntjac, Sika, Fallow and Chinese Water. Muntjac or Muntjac Reversi (latin name) is the smallest species of deer in the uk. For pictures of deer etc, have a look at www.flintwood.co.uk and then click on 'vermin control' from the menu and then click on 'deer' and there is a good picture of a Muntjac on there. Highseats - stalkers use these to lean against trees to sit on and wait for deer etc. new for 2002 I can supply them, take a look at www.flintwood.co.uk and then click on 'deer stalking highseats - new for 2002' and you'll see what I mean there.

I did see some advertisements on hunting them not so long ago in an English magazine but can't remember which or what the details were. I remember the price sounded reasonable (except for the airfare required from Oz of course!). I would like to hear though on the techniques used for hunting muntjac. Also what sort of calibre is used - .243? Post some details on your high seats. Are they the ladder with seat and shooting frames that is strapped to a tree or some other design? Post some details and photos if you have them. Some one may be interested. And if you do go on a hunt, tell us about it or submit a story with pictures to me and I'll see if I can publish it in the upcoming NitroExpress online magazines. Do you also hunt roe deer? Good luck Nitro Reply Recommend Delete Message 7 of 15 in Discussion From: Nitro Sent: 7/4/2002 4:12 PM (in answer to message 2) Moss a high seat is a hoch sitz. Simple....... Hope that clears that up for you. Muntjac are little deer that have their "antlers" (horn/teeth?) growing out of their top jaw downwards - a la Dracula. These protrude over the bottom lip. But I think they mainly eat grass and browse, except for the blood of lost New Yorkers in the wilds of England's forests. Nitro Reply Recommend Delete Message 8 of 15 in Discussion From: Flintwood Sent: 7/8/2002 6:40 AM Hi Nitro! Indeed, a .243 is the common calibre for deer here in the UK. The higsteats and stalking equipment I sell can all be found on my website whcih I am still developing. www.flintwood.co.uk the stalking and highseats are all on there now, and theres pricing and pictures there too. Also, if you click on vermin control from the menu, and then click on deer, you can find some information about my professional deer management services and also a picture of a muntjac, along with the other 5 species in the UK. At this moment in time, I am looking to go to africa to shoot crocodile, I was watching a programme on television today and it looks like just the job for me, shooting man-eating crocodiles! I'm also going to be developing an online magazine for shooting in the UK very soon! perhaps we can pool resources for the big game hunting section i'm planning. cheers!

I saw a quite good deal being advertised for a crocodile cull in Mozambique about 3 months ago. They were talking about shooting quite a few crocs each. Don 't hold me to this number but I remember about 18 each was talked about. I can put you onto the agent who was advertising it if you want. I probably would hunt a croc but I can't get the hide into Australia, so I would hunt other game I can't also get into Australia as well, before crocs. I will have a look at your web site and will send you an email soon regarding the other stuff. Good Muntjac Hunting Nitro Reply Recommend Delete Message 11 of 15 in Discussion From: Flintwood Sent: 7/8/2002 11:05 PM Nitro, Thanks! The programme I was watching on TV was called 'attack' and it was all about how the crocodiles attacked the villagers and the government hired 2 hunters to go and snare the crocodiles and shoot them... Boy would I like to go out there and get payed to hunt crocs! looking forward to your email!! please be aware that my website, www.flintwood.co.uk is being made by myself and i'm v busy so i havent quite finished the clothing section yet, but it will all be finished very soon cheers, Matthew Reply Recommend Delete Message 12 of 15 in Discussion From: Nitro Sent: 7/9/2002 3:57 AM Flintwood Emails on the way. As mentioned one person to speak to is BigFive on this forum. He is a lincensed PH in South Africa and may be able to offer croc hunting, plus maybe some plains game as well. Sounds good to me! And if you look elsewhere he may be able to offer some constructive comments of things you and I would never think of, not having local knowledge. Nitro Reply Recommend Delete Message 13 of 15 in Discussion From: Nitro Sent: 7/9/2002 4:02 AM Here's the advert I saw a few months ago on culling crocs in Mozambique. The original advert mentioned June this year, but it may be an annual thing. Very different. Place: Mozambique Time: June 2002 African Crocodile Expedition. We have 150 crocs to cull in June. We can take between 4 and 6 clients along, and they can shoot as many crocs as they want (up to 150 total). They can each have a skin home at the normal trophy fee ($1300). The rest of the croc shooting is for free, you only pay a day fee of $495 and Firearm Import permit of $90, hunting license is $100. Total is $4955 excluding airfare and trophy shipping. We plan a 7 hunting day trip. Starting at Tete in eastern Moz and from there going down by boat along the river each day and stalking the crocs on the sandbanks. In June it is colder and they like to sun themselves on the sand. We will also shoot from the boats. There will also be some hippo available on quota at the normal trophy fee. We plan to end the trip at Caia. Clients can fly in to Tete and out from Quilemane. This type of old traditional croc hunts are not to be found much anymore and it is truely an unique African experience. I've invited the hunting consultant to comment on this forum, so any questions post them, and if they drop in they can answer directly.

My pockets this year are very empty! hehe! thanks, Matthew Reply Recommend Delete Message 15 of 15 in Discussion From: redbeard Sent: 7/10/2002 2:01 AM lets see nitro,deer yote trip in oct deer pa and MD and wv in nov and hog hunting trip feb......much has i would like to don't have the dam time |
