How true that is.
In my own woodland, just about every time I'm there I will see at least 2 or 3 Roe Deer and that's when I have a big bouncy Labrador with me as well.
Normally they are perhaps 20 or 30m in the distance, but yesterday I was walking through an area with a lot of dead/dying bracken and all of a sudden, literally 6 foot in front of me, a Roe Deer jumps up and runs off - mind you the dog still didn't notice - he's useless!
