I disagree with you. Deer are aliens who are studying people. What you see as the Rut is simply an annual experiment the aliens do, and they have found out that humans get a little wild during the last weeks of october and first weeks of november. The aliens choose to have their lives taken, all for the sake of their experiments on the human race. Look at all of you. HA! You think you know the truth. The truth is out there. Turn your eyes to the sky and keep watching for the alien ships to appear and herd us all into their ships with their sharp antler-like prodding sticks that grow out of their heads. KEEP WATCHING! WE ARE NOT ALONE!
