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 ? All very difficult at night How upsetting for you ! I am not a vet but think that nature would have taken its course very quickly with the head injury.

I've hoped to see one for many years so to finally spot one was a great privilidge! I plan to return to the spot again in the hope that we'll spot him (or possbily her) again - does anyone know if that's likely? are they territorial?
