After the big blackout years ago, a friend of a friend worked for a company that got hired to clear power line rights of way in the Cleveland area. Guys a big deer hunter and said he never saw such bucks as he did in the suburbs of Cleveland!
When U ran sales routes in the area, I saw big family groups of deer bedded down in people's front yards. One time I was driving down this road and saw a doe, followed by 2 spotted fawns, step up to the edge of the road. I took my foot off the gas and poised it over the brake just in case. No need. She looked both ways, and as soon as I was past and the coast was clear. She and her fawns trotted across the road.
I thought, "Man! These deer are really getting smart!"
