Where would I look for antlers that a deer sheds when trying to tell the age?

Community Answer

The best place to look for antlers (called "sheds") is in feeding areas around oak trees (and other hardwood stands) and apple orchards.

How long before deer with fawns move on to different areas?

In late October and early November, bucks that are looking to mate usually will chase off the does' offspring. The does usually follow the food sources, as will the young.

Question

Do deer ever attack humans?

Community Answer

During the rut or breeding season, bucks may become aggressive enough to attack humans; especially if there are does in heat in the area. This is rare, but it can happen.
