I see them all the time. There's a lake nearby where 2 or 3 normally live, but the population swells when deer season starts since it's a no hunting zone in town. When I 'm out in the mornings I'll see their eyes with my lights; especially the helmet light.

The deer that live there year round are so accustomed to people that I've gone by within touching distance and they'll just stand there. But they also stay off the actual path.

Usually, 3 or 4 of those that move in during hunting season typically jump the fences along the roads and get hit by cars. There are more deer in our state now then a hundred years ago because ranchers thinned out the coyote and wolf populations. So more fawns survive.

There are also a lot of raccoons this year.
