There are lots of wild deer where I live in Scotland, we have two main types, roe deer are the smaller and red deer which are great big fekkers, and the males have a huge set of antlers. Either of them can do serious damage if you hit them on your bike. However they all have one thing in common, and that’s the herding instinct. So a bit of advice here from an old Scotsman. If you are riding at night or even early morning, and you see a herd of deer trying to cross the road stop and let them pass. Because if one or two cross in front of you then you can guarantee with their herding instinct the rest will try to follow. Even if a truck is bearing down on them they will still try to jump to the other side. Bear this in mind if you ever encounter deer on the road.
