The trouble is there isn't really anything that preys on deer apart from man and we are all a bit prissy about killing anything that is wild or pretty nowadays. Of course it's no problem if said wild pretty thing kills or maims a few bikers or wrecks the odd car. I wrote my bonnie off about 6 years ago killing a suicidal deer near Paxcroft Trowbridge. Accident investigation reckon I was doing about 50 when I hit it, I don't recall any of it, not even the helicopter ride. I woke up in Great Western Hospital Swindon, 1st thought was this smells like hospital - sh*t what hurts? and rather a lot did! 2nd thought was - Noo! I'm going to IOM in 6 weeks! I was pretty lucky and back on a bike inside 6 months with just a couple of residual effects that I get to keep forever. If anyone asks if I'm in favour of culling I'll let you guess what the answer would be
