Yes, deer tend to become panicked and disoriented in those conditions.

There are lots of small deer where I live in Maryland. White Tail?

It’s suburbia, but the “city” was designed with numerous small forest patches and corridors. Small deer and critters of all sorts thrive. I see the deer occasionally when I’m out walking the bike paths.
