Adventures with Animals

I was on my way home last night. I take Shepherd Rd which goes between General Mills and the Kare 11 News building. There is a small creek just behind the Kare 11 building. It was about 6:15 pm. All of the sudden I look to my left and there are three deer standing there and one almost runs out in front of me.
I yell something inappropriate and swerve to miss it, and it decides to run back to the bank by the little creek. I stop and it stops and we just stare at each other for a few minutes. My only thought was: "Where is my camera?"
I wonder how many other people almost hit a deer while riding their bicycles.
