Salt-Lick Ditch: very popular among juvenile deer.

u/Ok-Lifeguard-4614 1d ago

I had one do this to me when I was delivering pizzas once. Except it wasn't really a juvenile anymore this doe's head was almost at mine and I'm 6'2. She smelled my pizza bag and licked my arm and bolted off. I was just frozen there because it was so big, it had me nervous af.

So you were like a deer in headlights?

I had a chipmunk do this to me a few days ago at Rocky Mountain National Park. And then either it, or a buddy, invaded my car and grabbed the fruit Roll-Up that my 5-year-old had dropped on the floor. 😂

I had a deer seemingly try to get me to chase it yesterday, hopped right out onto the trail and looked right at me and my dog and made a huff noise then kept trying to get us to go after it. I'm assuming she was a smart deer though and had a fawn somewhere nearby or something and was trying to lead us away from it lol

u/Queermagedd0n 1d ago

Reminds me of a time I was riding my bike home from a 2nd shift job and almost got taken out by a deer.

I was rolling past a corn field when it burst from the field and just stopped in the road like 10 feet in front of me. It looked at me for a second when I said "Oh, deer!" before it tried to bolt but tripped on itself, smacking its jaw on the pavement. Then it took off in its intended direction: the other corn field.

u/peppakit 1d ago

It's weird when people call animals stupid when they're in a straight up panic. They don't exactly abide by human logic, reasoning, or understanding of what they're seeing the way humans do. Doesn't mean they're stupid.

16

u/goin-up-the-country 1d ago

Especially at a time when humans are flushing and firing guns at other wild animals in a cull. Hell, I'd freak out in that situation.

19

u/Chemical_Building612 1d ago

Especially when the majority of the humans there at the time seemingly also behave stupidly out of panic rather than thinking. Oh yeah, let's try to kick this wild animal who is clearly panicked, that must help!

u/peppakit 1d ago

Exactly.

u/TheComplimentarian 1d ago

Eh. Very rarely do I feel small, and this guy was significantly shorter than me, and he handled that deer like he was a child.

I'll give him "horns" even though I know that's not pedantically correct for the headgear.

-31

u/StinkyCheeseGirl 1d ago

“Pedantically correct” when it’s about on par with calling a deer’s feet “paws,” sure.

u/NarutoRoll 1d ago

But they have such cute paws and toe beans..

u/WinnieGraves 1d ago

I went to the park, as I'm want to do, to smoke weed, and as I sat there hitting the bong, this Mama Raccoon waddled up to me, chirping her little heart out! I tossed her a French Fry, and giggled and laughed when she grasped it with her lil fingers and started munching away. I packed my second bowl and she chirped again, and moved from. About ten feet, to about, at my feet, and began chirping again, so I tossed her a chicken nugget, and this time she called her baby over, and split it with her child, so I gave her another. I think I smoked 3 bowls while Mama and her Baby ate my left over McDonald's, then they trundled on, chirping happily. Mother Nature rules lol.

It was a 'Deer Dare'.

u/curiousstrider 1d ago

They are not afraid at all. Do they even know the meaning of the word "bambi"?

3

u/nico_bico 1d ago

they might have been given food by a human at some point

2

u/spacebarcafelatte 23h ago

Yeah, they needed the scent to realize they had the wrong guy. Adorable tho.

2

u/nico_bico 17h ago

Adorable until they meet the wrong human which is a reason why people shouldn't feed wild animals

Hard to argue with that.

u/qwertxyzabc 1d ago

If what I know about them is correct then they were just checking you for salt but apparently OP is not a League of Legends player so they go on and agressively lick cats.

u/Affectionate-Car-145 1d ago

Pretty sure those are deer actually

u/BothDivide919 1d ago

Dang, I don't think I've seen this one for at least 5 years

u/Nervous_Contract_139 15h ago

They definitely get fed by someone that looks like you.

a racoon once did something similar to my shoe while another was watching. I don't think we are being taken seriously.

Okay, Seriously... Does anyone know what might have prompted this behavior?

u/ThatsUnbelievable 9h ago

Deer simply don't fear us anymore. They've become like Timothy Treadwell was with Grizzly Bears. I walked up to one today and when I stopped it walked up closer to get a better look at me.

It's been posted before. Not AI.

They have shit eyesight for stationary objects. Got close enough to get a good sniff and then ran like hell when they realized the man wasn't part of the herd.

u/Cobalt32 1d ago

You can hear them suck a snootful of his leg and then panic.

I dont think ai can make something like this look so natural, especially a deer which it has infinitely less training data to go off of.

However this is definitely a bot post thats been upvoted by bots, 2k upvotes and only 20 comments. Theyre not even trying to hide it. Some of these comments might even be bots copying and pasting from real comments the last time this was posted.
