First deer collision tonight (in 12 years of seeing them on the road just about every night) - just as it was getting dark. Fortunately I was in the Suzuki. Clipped her head on the front left wing and it may just pop out (the wing, that is ) but it's probably a bit more dented than I can see at the moment. Seems it missed the rest of the car (including the lights and mirrors thank God). Deer was okay. I knocked her out, but I sat with her for a while and she came round, got up and wobbled off into the bushes.

Just thought I'd share the hazards, pre Arran Meet 6

 

Sounds like a very lucky escape for you both. Hopefully you won't have too much damage when you see it in daylight.

 

What, no venison for sale.

 

i remember years ago me and a mate were walking along the road when we saw a woman run over a duck... she stopped and was very upset... we moved the ' body ' to the side of the road, next day we are walking along hte same patch of road to find the duck now quacking and still sitting were we left it - thinking it was prob on the brink of death we tried to pick it up but it flew off !!! amazing how much of a knock animals cant take and still be ok, though i must admit a badger i once hit was not so lucky nor was the damage it caused to my s3

 

I hit a deer when I was in my Lotus on the edge of Epping Forest. It was such a shock. It fell on its back with its legs in the air. I was convinced that it was dead but it suddenly sprang into life again and high tailed off.

No damage to my Lotus, GRP is very forgiving.

 

It probably wasn't the same duck

 

Years ago I hit a deer on the Mendips late at night. Killed it stone dead. So we pulled it to the side of the road. Next morning we drove past - still there. 10 minutes later - gone. Hope someone enjoyed the venison steak!

 

In Scotland if you kill it you can keep it

 

Maybe you should change your name to Roadstun?

 

Sounds like a Japanese sportscar...
