Hoh boy! I saw this story on my local news today: Deer dash into Western New York Wegman’s grocery store. Yow! Someone got the action on video. If you play the video, be aware that after the deer video is over, the video continues playing other news videos. :-p Sorry about that. I can’t figure out how to automatically prevent that. Just click the “stop” button on the video to stop the videos from playing continually.
Anyway, notice how one poor clerk at the grocery store is running from the deer. He looks spooked! LOL! I don’t understand why he is running in such terror. The deer isn’t going to eat him like a tiger would, or anything. LOL, city slickers. 
Those deer sure are determined! Apparently, a buck was chasing a doe, and she ran and ran right through the glass and into the store, with the buck in hot pursuit. As soon as they spotted the delicious produce section, all their pursuit passions withered away, and their insatiable appetites took over (typical of deer).
In New York State, we have a big problem with the deer population; namely, that it’s growing exponentially. An exploding deer population means more accidents, more ticks, more Lyme disease… and more grocery store raids. Chalk it all up to another stupid NYS law that prevents us from shooting deer except for a small sliver of the year. Thanks to Disney’s Bambi, people have become bleeding heart-sympathetic about deer; but most Upstate NYers that I know (and that’s a heck of a lot of Upstate NYers) DESPISE deer. Deer are very destructive, eat entire gardens in one swoop, and spread disease. We have too many.
Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side. Read more

Deer have been known to freak out and attack, believe it or not. Those hooves can slice a person up from what I understand-that’s probably why he is running. We have a deer problem here in Chicago-they are actually hiring sharpshooters to cull some of the population in the forest preserves around here.
Oh-if you think the Grocery Shopping deer are bad by you, we had a coyote go into a Starbucks in DOWNTOWN Chicago a while back. AND we had a cougar running the streets as well. The coyote made it out of a cooler safely, while the cougar was slaughtered by a handful of idiot Chicago cops.

HOLEE COWWW.
The closest I’ve gotten to deer is venison stew. YUM YUM.
We have deer here in our suburbs who come right up to you. I took photos of the kids petting a few that came up to us.
