A lead injection seems to be the answer. Those of the sporting fraternity

There are 2 public footpaths through the area to be planted, otherwise
I'd be looking on them as a good source of free range meat. 


As an alternative, although I never have dealt with Muntjac, and am open to
correction I would suggest a=that as they're small, a 50p 1.2m tree guard
and 30p stake to attach it to may be worth considering.
I was told that I'd need more substantial tree guards, more like those
chicken wire and post type affairs.

I'm planting 40 acres of native woodland and orchard, and have just been
made aware that we have occasional visits from some Muntjac deer, is
there a viable alternative to stock proof fencing (I can't really afford
the planting AND 2000 mtrs @ 13.50) 

Thanks
