Wildlife

Now in France there is a lot more space. And the wildlife is rather different too.
The other day I was returning from Domazan to Narçay (about 4km of mostly country roads). There was a shape ahead like a large sleek dog. It looked in my direction and walked out into the road and stopped. It was a female deer, and a second, smaller one followed her.
When they had decided I was continuing towards them they ambled off into the adjacent field.Trees stopped me seeing them again until I drove by opposite where they had gone. There I saw 4 animals who skitted a little as I passed and then stood and watched me depart.
No wonder the French are keen on going out with their guns?
