We often smell deer before we see them and sometimes we’ll hear them before we spot them but usually we just catch a glimpse of them “hightailing” it. They stick their tail in the air and puff it out while prancing away. They know we’re not hunters and that there is no hunting around here so some of them are pretty cocky. This guy stomped his leg at us.

when we moved into the woods in mill valley it took me awhile to get used to all the noise the deer made at night. during the daytime, the deer were so carefully quiet but at night i’d wake up terrified, thinking escaped killers from san quentin were surrounding our house. then R would point out that escaped killers would probably try to be less noisy. the deer would also walk up and down our steps at night, sounding like the high-heeled prostitutes who worked out of a motel we stayed at in ‘Frisco when we first moved to Cali. the motel had metal steps leading to the 2nd floor and the ladies would be up and down those steps all night. once we heard a client say to one of them “u go up first so i can look up your dress.” anyway…
Cute! Or shall I say, handsome. We get cocky raccoons. U go up first.
