So where are you that you have drought and deer?

Strong ungulates do ok during 'drought', since they can find water, and get a lot from the forage they eat. They are plains creatures in Africa.

Don't eat them. You could grow up to be a programmer, or something else just as horrible.

Causing cars to crash then drinking from the radiator. It’s getting crazy out there.

They have been using low flow toilets and using other measures to prepare for this.

Emeryville was once the home of Trader Vic's.

I entertained a few customers at this restaurant...

They are surviving on private property where they can get water and green stuff.

We’ve got tons of deer around here in SE Pa..

They ignore you if you don’t have two legs. If you are on a horse, no problem. If you are in a car, no problem. If you stop your car and put one leg out the door, no problem. If you stick your other leg out the car, problem.

They are really dumb.

I have seen small deer in town here. Grazing in backyards, especially of empty houses. I saw 2 run up the street one morning.

You probably wouldn’t recognize Emeryville today. It has gotten VERY upscale since Pixar moved in.....sigh

You blew it! California lets you keep your roadkill and a buck would’ve made for some tasty venison!

(sarc)

Seriously, good on you for taking the time to protect three of God’s creatures who are managing to make a living in that leftwing cesspool called ‘the Bay Area’.

I’m in Marin County, near a city called Novato, which is a ‘hoot and a holler’ from San Francisco. Gov. Brown keeps chastising us for wasting water

Okay well...heck....You saw this domesticated deer on your passenger side...then it appeared on your left?? Wow..!! How did that happen?

And you know..the first deer was a buck?? How?

This time of year...probably little antler growth. But you tell me.

Deer are one of the leading causes of accidents with cars......They aren't predictable. I've hit a couple....One certainly lived...was but a love tap. The other I'm not sure...They are tougher than we give them credit.

Deer are everywhere, and will feed not only in wild areas, but in yards, gardens and farms. There will be some die-off during a drought, but it might not be easily apparent to you.

You should have hit the bastard, tied him to your car roof, take to a local processor to turn into delicious venison.
