PARTS of Hampshire have been named among the country's major blackspots for deer accidents.

Each year more than 100 deer are killed on roads in the New Forest, while around 60 deer collisions are reported around the M27 between Southampton and Portsmouth.

Both areas have been named in the top 10 worst spots in the country for collisions involving deer, according to breakdown service Autonational Rescue.

The organisation is now welcoming the Highways Agency-backed Deer Vehicle Collisions project - the first study to centrally collect data on road accidents involving deer.

I was offered 8 legs of venison last night for £50...
Do you think that was too dear?

No, the 8-legged variety is a special delicacy

Well I'm surprised it's only 60 Deer collisions, they do run so close to each other. I am surprised that this can result in a fatality though.

How do we get these numbers ?

"Reall y", "H ow' s", "S anta"..... and a "?" on the end would help.

If you're worried about little children, set a good example with your literary efforts.

They shouldn't just limit their study to deer, I think they should integrate stats on New Forest Pony collisions also, will someone please think about the Pony's....

Like the Commoners who won't even spend one pound on a reflective collar for their animals? Statistics indicate a high percentage of animals will be hit on the roads in the forest and if anyone still wants to claim their Commoners Rights with this knowledge, then they are complicit in any animal injuries that follow. To blame all injuries on excessive speed is a myth and the sooner the roads are fenced off the safer the animals will be. Alternatively we can enjoy uninterrupted forest views with dead animals lying in ditches and POLICE AWARE stickers on their backsides until the corpses are fed to the New Forest Hounds.

I'd take this story with a pinch of salt. Here's a direct quote from the manager of a local van hire firm, upon hearing that yet another of his vehicles had been written off by a courier, citing "a deer jumped in front of me" as the cause


I spend a fortune taking my kids to Richmond Deer Park in the vain hope that we'll actually see some deer. I don't think I'll bother any more, because if you lot are to be believed, all I have to do is drive up the M3 and deer galore will leap out in front of us every few hundred yards

Denzil on your blog you posted at 3:31 pm on this board you failed to use a capital ‘I’ when referring to yourself and did in fact use a lower case 'i', I think you'll find that in order to be grammatically correct blah blah blah.........

What abuse? I merely told you I don't like you. Doesn't take a big man to do that. What a clown!

It wasn't just the spelling.

It does change the context if spelled differently and I was pointing it out as a humorous entendre rather than an attack on Shazza's literary abilities.

I'm not that old or as jumped up as certain other people on this forum!

Because this story had turned into the Denzil, United front and Shazza page I was tempted not to post my thoughts about deer on the roads. Unfortunately my wife and I had the misfortune to hit a deer. It was a very scary thing. Sadly the deer died and our insurance company wrote our vehicle off. Missouri's deer weigh around 120 pounds, that's beside the point. All I'm trying to say is that speed is not really a factor when it comes to hitting deer. They jump right into your path so fast that quite often you can't avoid them.

Every bl00dy page on this site turns into the Denzil/United Front page, because those, ahem, "two" ego-maniacs think "they're" the funniest guys in town and that the entire friggin' internet is in awe of their devastating wit. What a loser, eh. If my life ever becomes so empty that I seek attention like that, I'll be sure to do the decent thing and just open my wrists up in a nice hot bath
