Where there’s one there’s usually at least three. Don’t think just because the one you see jumped out of the road that there aren’t more coming.
“Where there’s one there’s usually at least three. Don’t think just because the one you see jumped out of the road that there aren’t more coming.”
Exactly. Deer are herd animals. Every year of so with the company I worked for, I submitted a driving suggestion, “If you see one, slow down, as that deer is probably only one of many, since they are herd animals.”
I would win a nice cash prize every time I submitted that response.
We know that by experience. Last winter, my sister from Florida visited, and we told her to keep an eye out for the deer because it was just after dark. We were returning from dinner out. Within a few seconds, a deer came into the road. So we stopped. My husband was in the middle of saying, “Where there’s one, there’s more coming,” and then two more came into the road. Then we looked to the side and there were four more grazing.
We are lucky, because we get to see these elegant animals all the time in our wooded backyard, but my sister was thrilled because she lives near the beach. She enjoyed that little surprise very much!
