F... me those deer are huge!
SWMBO was using the tin top today so I had a good excuse to drive Kermit to work up MK way.
Had a cool journey to work, but a great drive back home including a short(ish) cut through Woburn park.
Those deer look quite small from the comfort of your tin top, but viewed from the driving position of your average se7en with nothing between you and
them except the visor of your crash hat, believe me, they are flippin HUGE

I took a rather large deer on a very short road trip many years ago. I was dashing off to college in my Cavalier and took the shortest route through
Cropton Forest. I deer ran out in front of me and just as I started to look for the second one, (they always seem to run around in pairs!) it jumped
on the bonnet, came trough the windscreen and landed upside down in the passenger seat. It then spent the next 40 seconds kicking the crap out ofmy
left hand side until I stopped the car, got out, ran around to the passenger side, opened the door and dragged it out the the car by it's ears.
I ended up scrapping the car because it stunk of deer poo.

Lol
Fortunately there is no chance of creeping up on them with a nice noisy exhaust and they politely moved out of the way... I really wouldn't want
one of those things sitting on my bonnet (ooh err missus)

And my best story about an animal collection up to that point was a pheasant getting sucked into the bonnet scoop on a friend of my sons scooby

I hit a pheasant with my head at 90...er 70ish on a motorbike once. That hurt, and i had to stop for the pain.

I see what you mean about the shadow but from other pictures of damage by kangaroo, I would not doubt that this picture is true.

Not as dramatic, but.
I cycled over a recent fox road-kill on my bike and it squirted fox goop over my bare legs.
Not nice in any way.
