You assume "hick" because of my ID-how stupid. I spent 30 years in Fairfield CT, an executive for a Fortune 500 company. Humans are omnivores (eat meat and plants)having 4 canine teeth. My hunting experience-was drafted in the 1960's and Uncle Sam put a rifle in my hands and sent me to Vietnam. Nothing since. Lyme disease is prevalent in CT because of the large deer herd and I know several people who have it. Last year was almost killed by deer running into my car. You deal in stereotypes. Sad.
If deer weren't hunted there would be a deer overpopulation. During winters there wouldn't be enough food for them and a large number would starve to death. Soccer moms driving their kids home from the game at sunset would end up with either a deer coming through their windshield or swerving into a tree or another car avoiding a deer hit. More children would come down with Lyme Disease which resembles rheumatoid arthritis as more deer visited our lawns and athletic fields at night.
I was thinking the same thing as Flukemusic. They looked curious because maybe they had lost their "adult", but adolescents have a tendency in most species to be more curious. Also, deer that are not generally hunted by predators or people tend to be more social. All the deer I see here are very wary of people, but occasionally one will walk right across a hiking path if you go far enough in.
These deer grow up with people all around them. They can't help - they're on an island. They are part of a whole community that respects them and they are taken care of. Thanks for all the comments!
making contact.. makes you stop and think .most times we,re too busy to wonder about other animals on this planet,you are very lucky to have met these two i wish it was me. thanx for posting
you should never interact like that with the deer or feeding the deer there it is really bad for them and yourself.

What about human overpopulation? Surely we can hunt that to narrow it down.
Or is that what Uncle Sam was doing to us in Vietnam?

Cherry Grove is in the middle part of a barrier island called Fire Island - off the coast of Long Island, New York. A magical place.
