Well, apparently it was the first day of deer season here in beautiful Onodaga County New York. As I slowed down for the 25 mph school zone, a very tall and stately deer stepped out into the road, stopped and turned his head in my direction and regally surveyed the situation. I beeped, it snorted but stood its ground (well, tar I guess). I am now stopped (cause they often traval in groups) and a school bus coming up the road slowed to a halt. The deer nonchalantly looked over his shoulder at the other traffic, then back at me. After a couple of minutes it dipped its head and walked slowly over to the road side and then gracefully trotted into the housing subdivision.
I wondered if the deer was slightly miscalculating that opening day of deer season meant humans would only shoot at it; rather than drive vehicles into it. Didn't exchange cell numbers so I guess I'll never know what it thought the " rules of engagement" are.
