Going Underground?

Wondering what had happened to the deer recently, not having seen any for three weeks, I had come to the conclusion that they had 'gone underground' during the time when antlers are shed. There are numerous places on Blacka rarely visited even by awkward characters like me.

It's unlikely they would have tried to emulate the local moles who have made something of a subterranean city in this corner of the pastures. If gardeners could only harness all this energy and persuade the moles to leave when the job was done it would make for less backache in the vegetable patch.
