My youngest brother used to work as a night shift delivery driver for Group4 many years ago. One night, driving though the wilds of Northumberland, collided with a deer. Transit van was wrecked, fortunately, brother was unhurt, deer dead. He spent the rest of his shift waiting for Group4 to send out another van and a recovery truck.

Driving down a Cotswold land a few years ago in my mates Suzuki 4x4.
We were getting a bit of a lick on, when a stag jumped out of the trees on the right, and off the bank and across in front of the screen. For a second the screen was full of deer.
We stopped at the side of the road and found deer hair stuck in the windscreen wipers!
We hadn't actually hit it but it was as close as you'd ever want to be.

I had a similar experience many years ago while running on the Purbecks. I was running down a track that went along the side of a hill with bushes / trees either side. Suddenly there was an almighty crash and a large deer leapt across the track a couple of metres ahead of me. It was about head hight and going at a fair rate of knots. It startled me more than anything, it was only on later reflection that I realised what a near miss it had been.The one that jumped over me on a fast descent would have despatched me to meet my maker if its flightpath had been a few cms lower!
