Perhaps the deer wanted to come for a ride? Was more worried about the deer flying over the roof of mine and on to your bonnetWhat you actually mean @GazHyde that the deer nearly landed in your passenger seat.. haha A very close call for both you and the deer...
I have them come up and look in our front window and it's quite common to have a half dozen milling around our yard and vehicles. It's the bears in spring that are the biggest worry as they're hungry. Had a racoon got in the attic last year, what a pain! Also get fox, moose, etc visiting quite regularly. JIMMust be the time of year lads, we went to a darts match between Lincoln and Newark last Monday and in all my life I have never seen any of the local deer population.
We saw a total of 3 on the way there and back, one of which almost did the same to my mates Ka as nearly happened to you Gaz.
