It isn't often we hear strange calls coming out of our long overnight captures, but this was one. The dead of night deep in the Forest of Dean, and a call that from the quiet emptiness begins to echo. Human?  Dog?  Muntjac deer? All three, or none? Muntjac deer are commonly heard repeating a single harsh bark across rural landscapes at night though this sound doesn't quite match the sound signature of muntjac, nor indeed dog, or human. The calling persists over ten minutes, seemingly human, then changing into something very much not human. What it is we can't know.  The sound comes from mid-left of scene. Whatever is making it is some distance from the microphones, which are tethered to the trunk of a huge oak tree growing beside a trickling brook hidden beneath dense undergrowth. To mid-right of scene is a country road that bisects the forest. Nocturnal cars occasionally speed through. The effect is curious, like a sudden wind is gathering in the trees, only to just as suddenly disappear. As the calling continues a tawny owl joins in. It hoots in that nervous kind of way they do sometimes, but then changes. Becomes a wavering quivering bleat, something like a new born lamb. It is fleeting. Then it is gone.  Building ideas of what is in the world around us from this kind of highly spatial binaural soundscape, especially from times and locations few of us are used to being within, can lead our imaginations into strange places. Notions of the supernatural. Happenings and occurrences beyond the normal boundaries. However to the eye, and if it weren't pitch dark, the scene would bear no comparison to what the mind perceives of this forest through hearing. There'd be no overwhelming sense of wide open space, no possibility of reverberances or echoes or happenings going on far away. Indeed no concept of distance at all. This is because what surrounds the oak tree is of course more trees. Lovely huge trees, draped in broad waxy leaves so green and so numerous the eye simply accepts the image as one vast surface of textured colour. A vail. The green vails make this huge forest place, from an eye-s perspective, just what is close. A walled garden. Safe, because it is completely hidden from view.  These very different perspectives of the same place reveal how hearing and sight fulfill substantially different roles when we are immersed in natural places. The hearing and sight we have was evolved in forest environments over millions of years. Within a world of green vails and visually obstructed views, sound travels freely, passes through leaves and around the solid structures of trees. Sound is spatial as sight is, has depth, width, and many other spatially sensitive qualities. It affords us with detailed information we need to gain a three dimensional spatial image of the world beyond what we can see. These complex interleaved vibrations land on our eardrums and are modelled spatially to alert us to the presence of things, what they are doing, and their location in space. But what sound also does, and what we as Lento are most intrigued to capture, is to convey and confirm to a vigilant mind that nothing is also happening. Not nothing as in silence. Instead, it is that sweet, soft, murmurating texture of half meaningful sound, like billowing fabrics, that simply say yes, the world is all there.  * This segment is from a 72 hour non-stop recording we made in May 2022 in the Forest of Dean. After the callings and the owls are gone, a little creature can be heard scuffling and making tiny quivering tweeting sounds as it goes. Soft planes pass over this area, helping to dispel any notions that this strange sounding place is anything other than the familiar world we all live in. 

What's it like to hunt along ancient hedgerows and stone fences older than America? This episode fellow writer Phil Massaro and I share stories about hunting wild, free-range Fallow deer, Roe Deer, and Muntjac through medieval forests in England.  In the UK on assignment with Savage Arms, we had the opportunity to hunt with and share meals with legendary hunter, wild game chef and restaraunteur Mike Robinson, host of Farming The Wild on MOTV, and his exceptional crew. Savage just rolled out a new rifle model, and we put it through it's paces and discuss it's characteristics, along with the 6.5 Creedmooor and 6.5 PRC's performance on Fallow deer.  This was an adventure for the ages, folks!

Wayne is an angler in Essex. He describes 3 close encounters with big cats at fishing lakes. On one occasion he met with a leopard warning him off just meters away on a lakeside path. The nearby muntjac deer might owe its life to Wayne's presence, as he stumbled upon the scene between the cat and the deer. He got close enough to see the big cat's markings… Words of the week:   leopard popcorn smell   5 March 2024

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we have a suggestion from Chuck, who wanted to learn about a small hoofed animal that I don't think we've ever covered before, the muntjac. It's a deer, but it's a very weird deer. In fact, it's not just one deer, it's at least 12 different species that are native to parts of south and southeast Asia, although it used to have a much broader range. Muntjac fossils have been found throughout Europe in particular. It prefers thick forests with lots of water around. Most species live in tropical or subtropical areas, although it can tolerate colder temperatures. It eats leaves, grass, fruit, seeds, and other plant parts, and it will also sometimes eat bird eggs and small animals when it finds them. It will even sometimes eat carrion. The typical muntjac is small, barely larger than a fox. The largest species, the giant muntjac, stands a little over two and a half feet tall at the shoulder, or 80 cm, while there are several species of muntjac that don't grow taller than 15 inches high, or 40 cm. It's brown or reddish-brown, sometimes with darker or lighter markings depending on species. The muntjac appears hump-backed in shape like a rabbit, since instead of having a mostly level back, its back slopes upward from the shoulders to the rump. Its tail is very short and males grow short antlers that either have no branches or only one branch. Males also have a single pair of sharp, curved fangs that grow down from the upper jaw, more properly called tusks. The muntjac is usually a solitary animal, with each individual defending a small territory. Both males and females have a large gland near the eye that secretes an oily substance with a strong smell. It also has another pair of scent glands on the forehead. The muntjac rubs its face on the ground to mark the edges of its territory with scent. It can even flare its scent glands open to communicate with other muntjacs by smell more effectively. Unlike many deer species, the muntjac doesn't have a particular mating season. Females, called does, can come into season any time of the year, so males are always ready to fight with other males for a doe's attention. The male loses and regrows his antlers yearly, but mainly he only uses them to push an opponent over. He does the real fighting with his fangs. There are other types of hoofed animals with fangs. We talked about the musk deer and the chevrotain in episode 116, but even though the chevrotain in particular looks a lot like the muntjac, it's not closely related to it at all. Neither is the musk deer. In fact, neither the musk deer nor the chevrotain are actually deer, and they're not even closely related to each other. The southern red muntjac is one of the smallest species of muntjac known and is fairly common throughout much of southeast Asia, although we don't know much about it. One thing we do know is that it has the smallest number of chromosomes of any mammal ever studied. Males have 7 diploid chromosomes and females only have 6. In comparison, the common Reeve's muntjac has 46 diploid chromosomes. Scientists have no idea why there's so much difference in chromosome count between species, but it works for the muntjac. Many species of muntjac are common and are doing just fine, but others are endangered due to habitat loss, hunting,

For The Losses of Magic, Britt and Chris discuss Pirates! on the scene, the electrocuting Quinns, and Kady and Julia summoning demon Asteroth to save Penny. They take time to sit with the perspectives of Penny as he dies, Margo as she talks to the Muntjac, and Alice and her mother Stephanie as they struggle with great losses.

A podcast listener named James Bradley joined me on the show today to talk about deer stalking in the United Kingdom. While hunters commonly pursue 6 different species of deer in the UK (red deer, fallow deer, roe deer, sika deer, Chinese water deer, and muntjac deer), James and I focused our discussion today on the 3 smaller species from that group: Roe, Muntjac, and Chinese Water Deer. Those last two species are especially unique looking creatures that are sometimes referred to as vampire deer. If you've never seen one before, you'll learn why that's the case during our discussion today.  Please hit that "SUBSCRIBE" or "FOLLOW" button in your podcast app to receive future episodes automatically!

Frank, Chris and George from GunsOnPegs are joined by England and British Lions legend Tom Croft, and his good friend Marcus Janssen, of Schoffel and Le Chameau. There's an exclusive product reveal, plenty of rugby chat, and, of course, What's That You're Drinking?

Inside the wood the ambience is changing from evening to night. Now it is owned by the crickets, hidden in carpets of leaves. Muntjac deer move about softly. Twigs and dead branches drop surprisingly often into the soft ground with a thud. Aircraft of indeterminate origin over-fly the wood at high altitude. Owls call. The parish church strikes midnight near the end. Deep listening with headphones helps to uncover the qualities within this recording.

An hour of pure immersive peace and quiet from that spot in the wood where nobody goes. This surround audio recording is unedited and just as it happened. Underneath the trees hear crickets, aircraft gently passing far above and the parish church chimes 10pm towards the end. Muntjac deer trot about and one begins to loudly call across the wood at the end. 

Jim is the founder of Fayre Game Pursuits. He has spent his life in the security industry where he founded a successful electronics development and manufacturing company – yes, here in the UK! He is passionate about game pursuits and wants the wider ‘urban’ public, especially in the UK, to understand and appreciate the good that comes from the fieldsports industry along with the benefits of sourcing ethically sustainable healthy wild game for the table.

Want to know a little more about the founders of Fayre Game Pursuits? Well, in this episode I talk with Nick to give you a little insight to who he is, what makes him ticks, his passions and concerns. We recorded the podcast in his garden in the countryside.

Professor Jaimie Dick specialises in Invasion Ecology, amongst other subjects, within the School of Biological Sciences at Queen’s University Belfast. He’s also an avid hunter and shares our passion with all things game related.

Welcome back, Fillorians! This week a prodigal daughter finally returns home, but the welcome is not quite what Alice was expecting. Perhaps because Quentin told the Quinns that she was alive months before and yet their offspring took her time showing up. Sure, she's on the run from a body-jacking Lamprey, but she could've given the parents a call, amirite? Speaking of body-jacking, pirates take over the Muntjac and their intentions are far from honorable. High Queen Margo shows off her snazzy eyepatches and new levels of badassery. Don't effe with that woman's ship. Not unless it's what the Muntjac wants. Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode. It's a doozy. Quentin possibly has Lamprey eggs in his brain. Niffin Alice was a horrible person and definitely the "torture artist". Gotta wonder what other creatures are on her trail. What did you think of the episode and OMG what will happen to Penny now?

Brittany Curran (Fen) shares her favorite behind-the-scenes moments from "Heroes and Morons," and talks about the Muntjac, Fray, and how she worked with her therapist to bring empathy and humanity to Fen's log lady scenes. Plus, it's the return of crackpot fan theory funtime with Clara, and no Brittany episode would be complete without a deep dive into the world of Cheetos.

This week we talk with Matt Goodlife about his first muntjac deer of the season. What took so long to get the first one down this season?

Did you know that England has 6 species of deer? And, that technically, because of how the antler growing season falls for one of the species, that you can hunt deer all year round? Yep, it's true. These are just a couple of the facts that we learned. We interview Matt Goodlife, a game management specialist, to figure out what deer hunting is like in England and to explore the similarities and differences between hunting in the United States and hunting across the pond.

Look around the English countryside and you'll find animals and plants that shouldn't be there - from Muntjac deer to Mitten crabs, Harlequin ladybirds to Tree of Heaven.So-called invasive species are reckoned to be one of the world's greatest threats to native wildlife. And when you factor in a changing climate, the situation gets even more complicated.Richard Hollingham meets an invasive species expert from the Centre for Ecology Hydrology who tells us not only what we can expect, but also what you can do to help.We also hear from a climate expert at the UK Met Office to find out why he believes climate scientists should take responsibility for communicating their science to the world.Finally, we hear how researchers figured out that a pit full of decapitated bodies in Dorset were Vikings and why small honeybees don't do as well as their normal-sized peers when it comes to mating.
