Default Urban deer

I work at the University of Dallas in Irving Texas. It is across the street from Texas Stadium where the Cowboys play. The University owns several hundred acres of woods along the Trinity river bottom. This afternoon I saw a doe out there. I was pretty surprised. In the background I could see the Dallas skyline. I had no idea the place held deer. I have seen yotes and other wildlife in the past. I just didn't think deer would be in an area this urban. I was not 1 mile from Texas Stadium. I also found out that as an employee of the University I have permission to "utilize" the land for recreational purposes. I can bow hunt there. I wonder if this was a resident deer or a transient. I'll be doing some scouting here real soon to try and find out!
