And in fact all animals are being born in abundance this time of year. In my lorry today i had to stop sharply to avoid hitting a Roe Deer and her fawn.....and a suicidal white tail rabbit gave me the stare also  A word of warning for all you drivers.....most young follow the parents a little way behind.....the adults lead the way so especially this time of year if you do stop and let a deer etc walk by.....wait a few seconds longer as the chances are as you pull away the young darts out as well. Thankyou  |

A guy was off work for a few days after hitting a deer. He was on his road cycle, missed one and hit the second. £100 bike damage and a very bruised/cut body.

I hit one of the buggers last year and smashed my grill. It could of been a lot worse. The lads at work replaced my broken VW badge with a lamniated deer picture, it looked quite smart

I nearly run over a squirrel in Hartley Wintney yesterday, think he survived, which was a wonderful moment for me and his mate.

I had a deer run into the side of me whilst driving near peat moor lake. Caused around £1500 of damage. Scared the living daylights out of me.

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit...

Deer must be some of the most stupid (but incredibly tasty) animals on the face of the earth, we have hundreds of them down here on the side of the road having been hit and killed by cars and trucks, I missed hitting 3 in about 3 miles last week, I have had at least 30 very near misses with them.
The road between Chard and Crewkerne is really bad for them and we have them come in our gardens exploring too.
Was yards behind one that was hit last week and obviously broke its hind leg and was running around in a circle in front of me trying to get away and not understanding why it could only run in a circle, luckily someone was sheperding it away from further damage, the one that hit it, and awaiting the Police who usually put them out of their misery.

I hit one a few years back at 60 mph in my old Clio, wasn't pretty. Fucked radiator, headlight and bonnet. To make matters worse the carcass laid by the side of the road for weeks. Reminding me of slaughtering Bambi.

A few years ago I was driving through Virginia Water at 3 in the morning (don't ask)
A car was driving towards me, and just as we were about to cross, a herd of deer ran out from my left across the road between the two cars. We hit 7 deer between us, and we had to call the police out because of the carnage across the road. Both cars were damaged - his worse than mine.

Had a stag nearly land on my bonnet a few years ago. It leapt over an 8ft hedge, and with one stride it leapt about the same height over the hedge on the other side of the lane. Bloody huge thing! Pheasants ain't bright, I saw one dodge a small bus in front of me only to double back and go straight underneath the bus; my wheels finished it off.

Going down the A34 towards the M3 a couple of years ago and a deer ran about a hundred yards in front of us, got across the dual carriageway, jumped the central reservation barrier straight in front of a petrol tanker going the other way!! All I saw was a gory mess all over the front of the tanker, must have took hours to clean off!!
