Live in an urban town. This little fellow caught us off guard! Never heard of a muntjac until now.

  1. They’re funny looking creatures. Unfortunately they are an invasive species.

  3. I’ve heard of them but I didn’t know UK had them. Never seen one.

  6. My dog loves chasing these fellas. She hasn’t caught one yet, but she’s come close.

  8. Immediately recognised the Friends episode within the first 2 seconds.

  10. These arseholes have eaten all my potato plants, six different variety tomato plants, two sentimental healthy dogwoods, all the green bean plants, and they all look like it’s touch and go whether they might die.
    NONE of the plentiful shrubbery.
    Could cheerfully catapult them into the next county. If I had a gun, I’d be making money hand over fist with venison steaks, I tell ya!
    Absolute CU next Tuesdays – I hate them with every fibre of my being.

    Edit. I’m on the outskirts of a small country town in East Anglia.

  11. Wait til they start coming at night and they start barking and squealing really loudly

    I certainly wouldn’t encourage them to return

  12. There’s plenty of them dead by the road near me, the woods are teeming with them.
    If you ever go to centre parcs at elvedon they are hiding under most bushes. Hundreds of the buggers.
    I have seen them for sale in butchers, gutted and headless

  13. My sister hit one years ago in a peugeot 205, destroyed the car, deer got up and ran off

  14. Cute until you hit one in your car and Audi want £2k to fix it, little shit got up and ran away too, didn’t even die for its sins 😂

  15. Just for the record, current legislation (effective as of 2023) in the UK makes it illegal to cause injury resulting in or causing suffering to any animal. Maximum punishment upon conviction 10 years imprisonment.
    So make sure it’s a clean kill…

  19. Invasive, pest species

    I’d shoot it. It’s perfectly legal no fucking grey area

    Inb4 down votes. I hold a shotgun certificate and a firearms licence

  21. We have a family of muntjacs that come through our garden every day. It’s lovely to spot them

  22. How lovely! You must feel like you’ve been kissed by David Attenborough

  23. I saw one about 3 weeks ago it was laying down at the side of a Pea Field, it was so hot that day, it literally stood up look at me and started grazing on the foliage at the side of the field and just walked off into a loads of bushes in a ditch.

  24. They look cute until they bark outside your boat window at some ungodly hour of the morning 😑

  25. Will eat anything you cherish in your garden. Secure it!

  26. I wouldn’t encourage these bastards. They will eat all your flowers, shrubs, anything they can reach.. Be afraid. They know where you live now.

  27. Ate my roses and strawberries, the little feckers!

  29. YOU DIDN’T MARRY YOUR BARRY, HONEY…

    … BUT I MARRIED MINE.

  30. They will eat all your bulbs. A bloke in Norfolk told me that the only way to get rid of them is a shotgun.

  31. I hit one with a small train once.

    Well, nudge it. I got this clattering diesel train and I roll up to it thinking “it’ll move” it just stood there, being the most gormless stupid creature on the planet till I nudged it with the train.

    At which point is fucking jumped and bolted away into the park, with more people.

    Stupid fucking things.

  32. Aw I love these funny looking fellas! When I lived in the Peak District would see them fairly often. Since moving to Scotland only ever see Red Stags and the odd Roe
