At first I thought it was a fox. I rammed on the brakes to avoid it. Then I turned the car round to get a better look. It was clearly not a fox but a Muntjac deer and it ran through the hedge in to the tennis club grounds. I often see deer up near us but we are on the edge of town close to open countryside. Bit of a shock to see it so close to the town centre! I was driving home across Cheltenham about 10pm this evening and one ran across the road in front of us by the tennis club.

May be worth a call to the local council ref warnings signs for drivers and or some fencing for the deer ? Sounds like a pending traffic hazard .

I am not a vet but think that nature would have taken its course very quickly with the head injury. In daylight maybe a call to the local police for advise ?

I was driving and i just saw the deer out of the corner of my eye. I braked hard but i could do nothing to avoid the deer. It hit the side of my car with a sickening thud. When i looked to see if it was ok, there was blood in it's eye but it's head was up and moving around. After a while it got up, wandered across the road (luckly no other cars came along) it was holding up one leg but it managed to go back into the wood. Will it be ok or will nature take it's course? Should i have called someone?
