RE: deer snorting
Doubt it, he was either snorting out of fear as in "What the hell is that thing sitting on my dinner" or snorting out of pecking order "hey look at me, I will scare you off with my mighty snort"
By tommorrow he will have forgotten all about it.
We can't follow a deer from birth to death, but I'd bet that they snort at animals/people/objects daily.
