Muntjac Deer Control by FlatJac
Facts about the MuntjacWhat We DoContact UsHome

Flatjac muntjac management services has come into being as a result of five years of study and actual defence of 60 acres of wild conservation woodland in south norfolk.

An amateur ecologist Barry Dorling has identified the obvious demand, along with the moral cause, for a pro active service that offers remedial and defensive solutions sympathetic to the specific individual property.

We absolutely and totally reject any risk of stressing, wounding
Or using inhumane methods of destruction of the animal.

A survey of your site is usually necessary and we will recommend the safest and most thorough remedial action to remove present, and prevent future infestation.

FlatJac complys with English and Welsh legislation.

Our service currently only extends to East Anglia.

 

 

 

 


Muntjac Deer

Facts about the Munac...

Thought to be the oldest species of all the deer.  20-30 million years in evolution and perhaps the most ignored!  That is until it arrives on your property!

Originally from India (Muntiacus Reevesi) named after john reeves, an inspector with the east India tea company who first identified it.  It was introduced into this country by the incumbent Duke of Bedford circa 1900.

Inevitable accidental and deliberate releases triggered the present day catastrophic infestation, posing a serious threat to our woodland and garden heritage, eating almost any plant and tree seedling within their browse line which in turn impacts on the natural habitat of many species of insect and bird, especially that of the rare nightingale.

Sadly the species consumes much of the food source important to our indigenous deer, perhaps most importantly, annihilating the regeneration system of the forests.

It is sadly still included in English and Welsh deer legislation, resulting in the following restrictions

*Specific rifle calibres

*Specific shotgun gauge and loads

*An offence to trap or transport and release

*No poisons or contraceptive drugs allowed

*No dart euthanasia permitted

The only known, permitted control policy is by lethal shooting with no closed season.
