Ah no - the deers are safe . It's just grey squirrels, crows. magpies. pigeons. rabbits (I think) etc that are classed as vermin. Annoying though when you're all dressed up to go for a walk and drive out there to find it closed. There was probably an advance announcement about it somewhere but I never seem to hear these things until it's too late!

That's good seen a few wild deer out there in October, late one evening when I was out walking the dog, the small wood just as you turn in off the castelcomer road is staying open

Are there deer in the woods or just the enclosure?
