There is I believe over a million in the country because there was talk of culling them a few months back.
Plenty round Somerset, you have to get up early in the morning to see them browsing along the edge of the woods. They come down and eat people's roses and once a beautiful little deer got his head stuck in one of the iron zig- zag gates and an AA man came along and prised the bar open so that it could escape. And the whole of Bath practically came to a stop one day when a muntjac fell in the river, and three fire engines raced to rescue it; it was released onto one of the hills above, and then of course, there was an argument about releasing 'foreign' animals back into the wild!
