my 4am drive to work every morning, i see deer everywhere.
i literally have to stop sometimes and let a heard cross the road!

i can brake quickly so i dont beat my truck up.......

Change the 'b' to an 'f' and you'll have a motto for someone.

Aye we’re a less hardy race than our ancestors, but that doesn’t mean the fighting spirit is dead. It’s merely dormant.

We have a doe that hangs out on our property. She drops twins every year except this one. I guess she had to outdo herself and had triplets.

We have quite a lot of deer where I live on Vancouver Island. The deer here, like the wolves and bears, are all pretty scrawny. I imagine it's because it's a bit harder to find nutrition. I lived in Oregon for a year and was amazed at the size of the deer there. Here they're whitetail deer, I think the ones I saw in Oregon were called blacktail deer.

I'd ride my motorcycle around Oregon and sometimes in the evening I'd come around a corner and encounter a blacktail or mule deer. My first reaction was "elk! moose!" and by the time I could slow down and get a good look at it, I realized it was just an absolutely massive deer. Dwayne The Rock Johnson "deer".

they don't have the wasting disease do they?

Nah, all the animals are small on Vancouver Island. Raccoons, squirrels, deer, wolves, bear, name it. Not sure why exactly, but my assumption is there's just not as much food available regularly. Every once and a while you'll see a diseased animal, but I don't think they're any more common than on the continent.

That's a nice thing to see.
