Hello jklem621, you say "crossing road to suburbs". The location given is deep in the suburb. Can you please check the location an correct if necessary.

Thank you @jklem621 . In spite of the limited image-quality obtainable from a dash cam at night, your record was easy for me to verify because your last image shows the more extensive white rump of a fallow deer than a sambar. (Size is hard to determine in photos and Sambar can have pale legs too, like Fallow). Dont let me distract you from responding to Michael's comment please.

@MichaelBedingfield, It looks like it is crossing at the turn-off to Pegasus on Drake Brockman Drive.

I see it on the map as showing well into the suburb, at the intersection of Gore St and McCabe Crescent.

Hi jklem621. To correct the location, click on the Edit button. Then go to the map, use the zoom to see the map fully , and click on the location where you saw the deer. We'd like to know this, because usually the deer don't go right into the suburbs. If you can't do this then describe where the location was and I can fix it for you.
