If you listen carefully you can also hear the human mom who shot this trying to keep the kids quiet so they don't scare the other 'kids' away ...just one of the coolest amateur nature vids I've seen. Gather the kiddies around ;-)

So true, Stew!!
One of my hobbies is nature observation. Deer, in the same family as moose, also often have twins and they frolic in the same fashion ...so cool to watch! ;-)

I like to watch deer, too. Usually right after Thanksgiving.
The outcome is a little different than when you watch them, though...

lol ...it's almost like the deer know too. I've seen 8-pt bucks standing in our old farm-road looking across the road at hunters in the State Land. It's almost like they can read my posting signs: WILDLIFE SAFETY ZONE, yada yada. I'm not anti-hunting, just like to shoot them with a camera, so I give them some refuge. They have incredibly good memories too ...but I won't bore folks with how I know this -lol- ...amazing animals.

They are amazing. Much smarter than most people give them credit for.
The problem with deer, though, is over-population. Their population can quickly outgrow what the land can provide. This usually happens in areas where hunting is either severely limited, or outright forbidden. I don't mean individual properties, but larger areas like boroughs and townships.
A prime example is the township where I live. More deer get killed by cars on the road than by hunters. Probably by a 10:1 ratio.

I don't doubt that ...now that moose are slowly repopulating New England there's real concern since they are much taller and wind up in the windshield/front seat with terrible results for both moose and human.
Deer are eating machines. I've been close to some NY studies where a simple deer fence prevented deer access to 12'x12' forest 'test' plots throughout the Catskill mountains. After just two years those areas already had many forbs and saplings growing, and after 5 years were lush with understory vegitation. Control plots were also used to permit smaller animals entrance (in the 12x12s) but not deer but made little difference. Without some hunting to manage the deer population I don't think there would be much of anything left growing on the forest floor. They're cute, but are total browsing machines!

Remind me to tell you a story about a car/moose accident, and a story about the deer browse fence up where we hunt, during the Orfstock weekend.

The drivers probably have a better aim.

Thanks for the heads up, we'll be more careful in the GT500 in a few weeks.

That's because .22s don't kick.
I'll let you shoot my .300 Ultra Mag. I put 12 rounds through that one day to sight it in. My shoulder was black and blue for 10 days...

This time of year isn't so bad. From the end of September until Thanksgiving is the rut around here. That's when most of them commit suicide. They simply aren't thinking clearly...

Ouch! ...that probably kicks like my 12ga with a high-grain deer-slayer slug ...takes down 6" trees quicker than a chain saw -lol.
