  1. Wow do you leave near a park? My mum had had deer in her front garden early in the morning last year. Must have travelled quite a way to get there, still no idea how It did!

  2. We’ve got one of those too! Except it’s in the communist car park of my flats. I can’t tell if I should ring up the RSPCA or something or if it’s okay?

  3. There’s more and more of these every year. No predators and getting increasingly urban.

  4. Have loads around here and they will eat all your plants 😮

    Asked someone who know about them what they don’t like eating…. His answer… Concrete 🥴

  5. They are super cute but becoming a super big problem for the ecosystem. They Really need to start putting deer on the menu more often again and get their numbers down.

  6. He’s casing the joint. Before you know it, he’ll be in through the cat flap, sleeping in the beds, eating your porridge and putting the DVD’s in the wrong cases.

    They’re known for it.

  7. Do you live near a nature reverse or anything like that? I sometimes see them in the woods when I walk my dog.

  8. My Mrs sent one to meet its maker a few weeks ago with her car. Decent bit of damage tbh.

  9. The only predators these guys have is road traffic

  10. Deer (on being spotted): shit, shit, shit, shit, run away!

  11. If it’s trapped in there, so it can’t escape.

    Then it would be a crime to let it out. How well that law is enforced is debatable but they are an invasive species and if you had a rifle you’d be well within your rights to shoot it.

    I’m not really sure what you are supposed to do if you accidentally trap one in your garden and you don’t have a rifle though, because you can’t shoot it with a shotgun or a bow and arrow, and an air rifle wouldn’t do anything. Who do you call, the RSPCA? What are they gonna do with a deer? Police would tell you to fuck off, etc.

  12. I nearly ran one over a few years ago! It leapt out of the wooded central reservation of a dual carriageway right in front of me. Scared the bujeesus out of me.

  13. I know that hot tub. Your parents have legendary parties.
