Believe it or not, back when I was working in Texas in the early 1980s, I actually caught a deer by hand. It was night, and the deer was apparently blinded by the trucks headlights, so when he ran towards the field on the side of the road he ran into the fence bordering the road, bounced off and fell down right in front of me. I somehow managed to dive on top of him and pinned him to the ground. He froze (fortunately for me)and made no attempt to kick or get away. After a good laugh about catching a deer, I lifted him over the fence and released him. If I'm not mistaken, this was the first time "catch and release" techniques were used on a deer...

Marge anytime other than rutting, I rarely see bucks. They seem to stay to themselves. I think they are territorial, at least from what I see on our farm. But a pretty sight on our farm is the doe's and their fawns grazing in our fields with new, lush spring grass among my horses.
