Deer? I usually assume black bear. Deer are ubiquitous enough to be found far from the forests.
I live at the foot of the Poconos, and only 1 time did I ever see a bear wander through my town. But there’s always plenty of deer while driving.
I can vouch for that. Last week I was visiting a friend who lives in a very urban area in Richmond VA. His house and the houses around it were built in the late 1940s. According to my friend, the nearest park is about 5 miles away. When I was about 100 yds away from my friend's house, I saw a deer walking down the sidewalk.
