It was a 30-minute cycle ride from my parent's house at the age of 12, but I used to go often to look at them. They are bloody beautiful.
i remember as a lad, i had to stand perfectly still when i watched one from hundreds of yards across a field. if i so much as twitched my pinky finger they would bolt off. somewhere between then and now they ran out of f*cks to give.

We have a problem with deer here, lovely animals, but due to lack of natural predators they're everywhere and can be a road hazard. I've come close to hitting one many time; luckily haven't, would kill me inside.
My brother did hit one in West Sussex in the UK where they have loads in the woods. He lives in the woods basically in a little road with about 6 houses. It did upset him a lot. I suggested he should have tied it to the roof and brought it home for Barbecues. Delicious and Beautiful animals.
i used to work on the nj turnpike (seasonal help) and part of that job was removing dead deer from the roadside. we'd lift it onto a pickup bed, drive it back to the district building, and they'd dig a huge hole with an excavator to bury it.
one day we found one freshly killed. she had a broken neck but everything else was intact, probably peaked her head out and got hammered by an 18-wheeler. we then noticed that she had a very bloated belly and milk streaming from her nipples. long story short: we suspected her of being pregnant, so when we took her back to base, i took on the task of cutting her open to see if there was a fawn that needed to be saved.
anyway, she was empty. must have just given birth and was nursing, so not only was it a gruesome waste of time but there was also the knowledge of some tiny fawn starving to death in the woods. all-around shitty day, really.
