As you can clearly see, they saw me (they heard the slider when I opened it to get a clearer picture), but remained calm, which was good 'cause I didn't want them to flee.

A few days earlier I had a minor encounter with who I presume may have been their boyfriend.

I wanted to feed 'em (in hopes of befriendin' 'em), but I had no deer food on hand (I've never had any 🙂).

I know some of their favorites are most of your plants and anything in your garden, but all I had (which I usually don't) were these.

I stepped outside to about 3m from Mr. Deer (didn't wanna get too much closer since those antlers looked quite "pointy" and I'm surely not as fast as I think I am) and tossed a small handful of 'em at his front feet (well, hooves). A few landed really close to 'em and he bowed down and sniffed one, but didn't eat it, but immediately sniffed another one. He then raised his head back up and gave me this look, like, "WTF dude, I'm a deer - I don't eat f**kin' Goldfish crackers." But, in all honesty, I found his expression difficult to read and was feeling poorly about the whole thing, so I went back in before he decided to gore me for insulting him.
I think he was getting ready to gore the living daylights out of you. I would, too, if someone tried to pelt me with goldfish crackers. Maybe next time keep a head of lettuce laying around. But don't hit him with it! Or he might come after you.
