This is not what you’d want to see flat stick over The Mountain! (shocked)

Rather one of those than a deer, I think.....but either could ruin your day if it was big enough. That little fawn I hit years ago just exploded on impact ....but that was a tiny fcuker. Barely cracked the left side lower. Frickin' leg was killing afterwards.

Problem with introduced species Rossgo is they upset the natural balance of the native species.

Very true to be honest, we had those grey squirrels take over our red squirrels , hardly ever see red ones, to be fair I dont think I've ever seen red ones, but I've heard the reds were the dominant over here are some point in time

Wow 10 years is scary for the population to become extinct. I've never seen a res squirrel even though it is our squirrel! Makes you sad really in such a short space of time they are in hiding now!
