Remain calm and watch. Although deer are not violent normally, abrupt motions might surprise them. Still, observe their behavior to determine their degree of comfort.
Assign the Deer Space. Steer clear of contacting or corning the deer. If it feels tense, gently back off to provide distance without frightening it.
Steer clear of noisy noisiness. Shouting or loud noises can frighten the deer and maybe cause it to bolt randomly. If necessary, gently warn the deer to your presence.
Don't feed the deer. Feeding wild animals can make them dependent on humans and raise hazards for people as well as for them. Keep your snacks for yourself.
Look for Indices of Aggression Though unusual, deer—especially males during rutting season or protective does with fawns—may act defensively. Agitation may be shown by stomping, snorting, or lowering of the head.
Slowly Back Away Should One Be Threatened Should a deer exhibit aggressive behavior, do not run away or turn your back. Make eye contact then gently withdraw to a better distance.
Value Their Habitat Recall—you are guests in their house. Stay on designated paths, keep from upsetting their surroundings, and responsibly appreciate the wonders of nature.
