Reading this article and also the one on how to stalk a deer at wikihow.com/Stalk-a-Deer makes you cringe. These people obviously never spent any time in a truly wild setting around wild deer nor do they know a thing about real deer behavior. Yet they write about it as if they do, making up stuff as they write. And people reading it by and large believe it. One thing they state is true, however: deer that are conditioned to humans can be down right dangerous. Also, bucks in rut (in the wild) can be dangerous as well. I get out running, and on the very rare occasion that a deer shows no fear, I grab a hand full of rocks and get ready to go on the offensive if needed - only has happened a few times in over 30 years.
