I was about 15 feet away from the three just laying in the grass/snow as I walked by.

See them on the side of the highway, at night here, all the time. They will usually ignore you. If they run parallel to you watch it because the odds are instead of turning away from you they will cross the highway in front of you. Almost a guarantee.

I see 10 or so every night on my way home. They're just standing there, munching on ... whatever they munch on.
My three year old daughter thinks they're Santa's reindeer.

It's more the lounging under a tree in someone's yard that shocked me. And Colorado gets cold at night.
This is the only thing that should have happened....
Done that before.

The hairs of their winter coats are hollow and serve to insulate them. If it is seriously cold they will hole up, but sooner or later they have to eat. Pretty amazing critters actually and quite adaptable to their environment. Lots of munchies for them in the cities and very few predators.

I was shocked at how many deer I see where I work and even more shocked at the amount I see wandering around in NW Austin when we go there.

I've never actually tried it...I hear the jerky can be particularly good, too?

They do at my mother's, but she has decided my grandmother (living with her) wouldn't easily handle Bambi going buh-bye and into the freezer. Dammit.

Just got off. Started the shift with an in-service, sprinkled in 4 calls (2 scenes, 2 transfers), and topped it off with station duty day. Altogether not bad, but per their norm, the EMS gods made sure to do their due diligence seeing that I earn my family vacation next week.
Time for a good run, a quick lunch, and a nap.

Love the jerky. Have some every day. My wife on the other hands thinks it's the most disgusting stuff ever.
That just makes the jerky tastier.

I had a paramedic trainee bring me some deer jerky. I didn't care for it, too gamey for my urbanite tastebuds.Love the jerky. Have some every day. My wife on the other hands thinks it's the most disgusting stuff ever.
On the other hand, an old pilot that used to work at our base brought in some deer patties he had seasoned at a local shop and cooked it for breakfast once; that stuff was amazing. It tasted like a leaner, less fatty version of pork sausage.
Summer sausage, cheese and crackers and your choice of whiskey. Winning combo right there.
