Don't you get deer everywhere? You get them in the outskirts of London, 
certainly just outside the M25 (the London ring road). They seem wild to 
me. I've never seen them look before crossing the road, and I have 
actually collided with one when driving. I was lucky and managed to 
brake, but I know a lot of people who have seriously damaged their cars
