I saw a muntjac in a small wooded park in Stevenage last week, it went past
shortly after a dog walker so they must be able to tolerate a certain amount
of disturbance if it suits them. There is an extensive private wood not far
away which I suspect is the main habitat.
Like Scott [I think] said deer are colour blind. You can get camouflage
hunting clothes in all sorts of colours, some of them highly visible to
humans, it works because the pattern makes the wearer's shape less obvious..
A friend of mine has a very fetching yellow / purple ensemble.
The attitude to guns is a bit of an eye opener for anyone used to the UK.
I've seen pawnshops with a polite notice asking customers to unload firearms
before bringing them in.
