While no animal was injured beyond being ruffed up and maybe bruised a bit, this video is a good lesson for showing how dangerous wild deer can really be. If you do a google search you will find that Bambi has been known to attack and kill domesticated pets and even humans when protecting their young. Here are just two different stories about humans being attacked and killed by deer in the past few years. One was in Southern California when a man was just picking tomatoes in his back yard, ( Man dies 3 weeks after deer gores him ) and then an article of a man who was killed in Ga, ( Man Mauled to Death by Deer ).
A Google search will turn up many such articles of humans being attacked by deer, even when there are no young fawns involved. Many times these attacks are unprovoked like the man picking his tomatoes in a gated community. So while we try to humanize and even befriend wild animals, like the two deer I have a videos of cleaning cats, it is wise to remember that wild animals can be quite dangerous as you will see in this video of Bambi's true nature.

Bambi's True Nature, When Protecting Her Fawn
Here's a Cow Moose stomping a college student who got too close to her calf.
Are you sure that was Bambi? Looked like Thumper to me.
“The ones in my freezer are curiously docile”
Imagine that. (LOL!)
Ergo, the worst-case scenario for him is 45 strikes, 6 balls -- not allowing for fouls, balls hit into play, and the lone baserunner.
If I were the Orioles of old (Palmer-McNally era), I'd be thinking about him already.
Cheers!
A couple of years back, a deer with two fawns frequented my yard. One got under the hogwire fence I have around my small orchard and was trapped. I watched mama and baby go back and forth down the fence. I watched as she walked away trying to get it to follow, beloowing like a cow. Against my better judgement I did go down there and managed to get the gate open, talking calmingly to her all the time and moving really slow. Luckily, she did not attack, but I was so lucky.
I now have four little kittens out in the greenhouse. I went to pick one up and they are true wild cats. Although tiny, it reared on its hind legs, claws extended and hissing. Reminded me that wild is wild - even in kittens.
