re: #741 Flounder
The deer are probably in rut. Damn horny bucks are everywhere!
Do the young ones rut at about 6 mos? These were just kids, very young with no antlers showing. And in both instances, the locations were near water and they probably needed a drink. We do have an excess of deer around here, and my son has even seen them on the streets in Charlotte, about 30 mi from here.
My grandson said he had been dodging deer all night in his delivery van and then, and then, in his new (to him) car, manages to hit one!
