Stared down by a deer
Apparently it's that time of the year when the male deer around here (blacktailed deer) get a little aggressive...it's rutting season. I was walking back from class the other day, when a male deer with fairly well developed antlers meandered across the path in front of me. I just kept walking, as my experience with deer so far has been that we both ignore each other and everything is fine. This deer, however, stared at me directly and slowed, stopped and began to walk towards me. I just kept walking, and tried to give it more space...it was about 10 feet away...and kept my eyes on those antlers.
Luckily nothing happened, but later that week someone sent out an email warning us all to be aware of the aggressive males. I have noticed that they have been much more active--running around and chasing and cornering females, poor things.
Hopefully the season passes without incident....
