Had an amazing deer experience earlier this year. We were riding along a very quiet country road. I look right and all I see above the rows of young corn were the heads and antlers of two bucks standing still watching us. They were about 30 feet off the road in the field of corn. The two bucks take off and are running parallel to us. They paced us for a good 30 seconds. We were side by side cruising at around 17 mph maybe. Something told me to drop back a bit and it was a good thing I did. Both bucks hung a left and came directly at us crossing over the street maybe 5 feet in front of us. The experiance was very high on the cool factor.

I had a medium-sized buck, in velvet, follow parallel to me about 10 yards off the road for several minutes earlier this year. It was a long hill, and he was eating on the other side of a barbed-wire fence in a field. I startled him, and he ran up the hill, along the fence for a long time. Every time I thought he had run into the field, he would pop up. Finally, when I topped the hill, he ran across the road in front of me.

On a night ride offroad and the track looked similar to the OP's pic. One difference though- He was coming at me at full gallop. Stopped the bike and looked where to go- High fences on either side of the track and he did a left -straight over a 6ft fence. If he hadn't- then I would have attempted the highest bunny hop I would never have made.
