Having spent a lifetime taking great care dodging the unwary wildlife of Southern England I was very upset when I killed a very unfortunate muntjac deer that jumped out of nowhere. You wouldn't think such a small animal could do so much damage to a car, but I suppose it was a FIAT Panda.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027942517258679266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448752251053894818.post-74800928507954423552010-11-22T09:58:04.092+00:002010-11-22T09:58:04.092+00:00If we were to reintroduce running dogs, they could...If we were to reintroduce running dogs, they could chase the deer out of the way as the postillion blows on the wolf whistle. Or something.<br /><br />I used to encounter all sorts of wild animals when driving down to the Dorset coast in the small hours. I found the best thing to do was switch the lights off so that the creature could see to escape. But that is of limited use if it leaps out at you...Dru Marlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697874363783821382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448752251053894818.post-30677157082264439782010-11-22T09:48:09.641+00:002010-11-22T09:48:09.641+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600684740584460891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448752251053894818.post-39317561178105363192010-11-22T09:48:09.290+00:002010-11-22T09:48:09.290+00:00I think an appropriate deer horn, woud sound very ...I think an appropriate deer horn, woud sound very similar to the screech, or roar of a ferocious predator!<br /><br />Melissa XXMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600684740584460891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448752251053894818.post-34670613210104862112010-11-21T22:43:16.617+00:002010-11-21T22:43:16.617+00:00Many of my friends have lost their cars due to col...Many of my friends have lost their cars due to collisions with deer, not all as large as Drew drew and this year has been a record for near misses with the smaller roe deer we get round here, about a dozen so far!<br /><br />After a friend wrecked his tough Audi and only just survived he said he fitted a deer horn but I have not heard what it sounds like though a car passed the other day with a strange howling noise, perhaps that is what it sounds like.<br /><br />Caroline xxxCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133031265351841626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448752251053894818.post-43644477651464944362010-11-21T11:22:25.982+00:002010-11-21T11:22:25.982+00:00I'm keeping my eyes peeled, especially at nigh...I'm keeping my eyes peeled, especially at night for deer running across the country roads where I live. It's hunting season now, and all of the hunters have beset their beagles against them, so they all go bounding through the woods, and across the roadways with reckless abandon. High beam head lights tend to catch the reflection of their eyes, yet they still come bounding out of the tree lines along the roads, and infront of your bumper before you know it. The carnage on the highways this time of year, is just horrible. Last Autumn, a six point buck came bounding out of the woods, as I was driving down a two lane highway, and stopped right at the edge of the road, just before running in front if my grill, I have insurance, but thankfully, I never had to use it<br /><br />Melissa XX<br /><br />Melissa XXMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600684740584460891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448752251053894818.post-32365093391140617322010-11-21T10:40:22.550+00:002010-11-21T10:40:22.550+00:00it's stagflation I blame, of course...it's stagflation I blame, of course...Dru Marlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697874363783821382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448752251053894818.post-13488784463414666022010-11-20T23:25:42.047+00:002010-11-20T23:25:42.047+00:00How embarrassing for the poor bloke!
