Video: 7 Uncomfortably Close Encounters of the Deer Kind

People often seem to forget that deer are wild animals, and despite their looks, they can be very dangerous if provoked. Just because they are herbivores doesn’t mean that deer can’t get rowdy, and in some cases, even aggressive.

Here are seven videos that show that getting within petting distance of a cervid could end in a lot of running and a lot of cackling laughter from your friends.

Warning: these videos contain some profanity. 

1. They might not want to be photographed

2. They might mistake you for a doe

3. They might want to bum a smoke

4. They might be hungry

5. They might think you’re looking at them funny

6. They might want to see you climb a tree

7. They might like their personal space
