Description Went to Nara in September- the deer are SO tame, they try and take your food and nose through your bags.

Anyways, I like this photo for the expression on the guy in yellow and the little kid grinning from behind the blatantly unamused man. XD

Cool, we have deer here where I live, but they are wilder and overpopulated. Poor things, the only time you'll see them on roads is if they're crossing or got hit

these deer have a better sence of crossing the road safely than those deer which just run straight up to the highway

Deer run up the highway? O_o Well then yes, they certainly do!

shy-fox In reply to lady-leliel [2011-11-15 19:09:05 +0000 UTC]

yes, not often though, but there are these signs next to the road to warn you deers could cross the road.

I can speak for the U.S. on this one. It's just like that here. The signs, and deer running into the highway. In fact, there's a minor expression about a deer in the road that a few people use here.
Deer are famous for darting right into the highway and getting hit by vehicles. I once saw a dead deer being removed from the road by animal control personnel. And it seems that often what happens, is they dart into the road and hear the vehicle, and when they see it they get frozen with fear. Key word frozen. They stand there and look at you until you hit them or stop. In fact, I've been told that's how people in the south hunt deer sometimes. They're driving through the woods in a pickup, and if they see a deer they want while they're on their way to wherever they're going the speed up to ensure a kill! Then they load it into the back of their pickup and keep going. I've had people in the south telling me stories about that, and I've overheard people relating stories their southern relatives told them- or put them through! Deer make very good eating I've been told. Very good, but the meat can be hard to find and hard to get unless you either pay a lot at a weird store or hunt it yourself.

What else were the deer doing? What food did they want? I'd guess salads and potato chips, but probably not Nachos or Doritos. Sandwiches?

Did the deer wait for the traffic signal? Or did they just wait for the people to cross? Or did they just actually LOOK into the street for cars before crossing? I'd like to know what else they were doing, because deer don't do that around here at all, and people wouldn't like animals that size walking around in the city.

Oh man, they'd eat anything O_o They were literally pushing their noses into our bags XDDD I offered one a bit of the seaweed from my riceball and it ate that happily. Later on, my friend dropped a cup of shaved ice and it actually ate that, too! It gave it a red stain over it's mouth, making it look vicious.. Hehe.

I think they just crossed with the people. Because it was a tourist-y area, there wasn't much traffic.

ToddNTheShiningSword In reply to lady-leliel [2012-04-27 07:07:56 +0000 UTC]

Wow. Vicious deer It ate the shaved ice. I heard deer really like salt. I didn't know they liked sugar, because I didn't know if they would eat wild strawberries and other berries that grow down in the grass or bushes or not. But yeah, that was interesting!

lady-leliel In reply to ToddNTheShiningSword [2012-04-27 07:31:47 +0000 UTC]

Yeah XD We had to keep pushing them away when we were trying to nom.. I've even got photo evidence

Maybe those deer just developed a taste for people-food since it was so easy to obtain!

I looked in your gallery for the photo evidence, but all I saw was petting the vicious deer and a deer ate a rail pass and a map.

Holy carp! That deer is right there!!!!! How did you keep it out of your noodles?!

The only way you could get that close to a U.S. deer is if it was dead! Or if you were Usain Bolt and could run one down!

"There's a deer in my photo" XD. Yeah, I see that one in the background there. I also see something from Naruto, and 2 T-shirts that seem to be about not throwing away too much trash?

lady-leliel In reply to ToddNTheShiningSword [2012-04-28 05:55:56 +0000 UTC]

Yes indeed. It was very annoying when a whole lot of them joined in.. We had to push them away or blow on their faces! But they'd come right back..

Yeah, he's got a Naruto headband, but I'm not sure about the shirts

ToddNTheShiningSword In reply to lady-leliel [2012-04-28 13:35:10 +0000 UTC]

One of the shirts says "Trash" right on it! Or, at least I think it does... Then there's one with a bottle on it, but I think that's a wine bottle depicted.

Did the Japanese tell you that blowing on the deer's faces works, or did you just try it?
