Oh deer (sorry) I haven't stopped laughing yet.
We had the same problem with toads. They built a new estate just up the road on land that had never been built on before and which was the route the toads took to get to the lakes at the back. For several years after the estate was built we had toads coming up out of the drains and covering the entrance to the new road! They couldn't read either, unfortunately.

I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!

I bailed at a minute in, as soon as I figured out where it was going.

There is a place in my home state where there were so many deer and moose and cows being hit by cars on a major road, they built a very large tunnel for them and fenced the road for miles along each side.
Which reminds me of a joke. A couple of rednecks went bear hunting. They were hot on the trail of a nice she-bruin when the trail emerged onto a road. A yellow sign by the road said "BEAR LEFT". So they gave up and went home.

"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor
"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
