Narrowly missed a 'Monarch of the Glen' one snowy night on the A9 half way up to Inverness in the Highlands. I'm convinced if his antlers came through my windscreen it would have been curtains for me! Shook me up big style.
I'm a firm supporter of a blanket deer cull up here. Problem is they have no natural enemies and cause a real havoc, not only to drivers but real damage to the sustainability of forests as they eat all the young saplings.
Oh, and they taste not 'alf bad!
