I imagine seeing a few deer passing by wouldn't be big news for someone living in an area like your sister's mountain home.
In Britain, we're a bit starved of impressively large mammals - although there's always talk of wildlife groups trying to reintroduce things like wolves, wild boar and elk.
I'd probably have a slightly different experience coming across a bear or mountain lion rather than some deer - probably involving running away very fast.

It always puts a smile on my face when I see deer. We get them along the freeway here, and it always pleases me.

Hah! Maybe the Glen would think twice if the deer started fighting back. He never gets close enough to find out.

Isn't that a great picture? Any dog with half a brain would run like a bat out of hell with a moose after him like that.
