Hey y'all,

driving home from work tonight at 10:15-10:30, I had to brake hard to avoid hitting an animal.

Nothing remarkable in this, apart from the fact that I've no idea what it was.

It was a four-legged mammal with grey/brown fur (like a grey squirrel's), about two feet long and eighteen inches high. Small to medium dog-sized, really, which is what I thought it was initially. It didn't have much of a tail and a head like a deer's.

Was it some sort of deer?

You've never seen one?? One of the most common deer in the UK, small about the size of a small dog

Old man bent a chassis rail on an E30 with help from one of the fury critters. Hard as nails.

So lets get this straight.

You had a possible encounter with a rare, possibly undiscovered creature. A creature cryptozoologists would bum their mothers (like Dave S13) to discover.

You had the opportunity to run the beast over, photograph it, cut a reasonable fillet steak out of it and post a 'what sauce should I cook this little tasty little fecker in?' on the cooking area of the forum.

And yet you didn't.



You don't belong here. Chum.

Yes I think I must have almost run over two of these recently. Realised they must be some kind of small deer but had no idea which.
