    The concept of a city deer is something i have 0 experience with.

    I’ve only ever seen deer … way out in the boonies, or near like a minor rural freeway.

    I believe you, I can understand that if the deer just regularly lived significantly closer or just within fairly urbanized areas, they would acclimate… but where I’m from… they stick to the forests in the foothills of the Cascades, almost entirely.

        Pretty sure my wood-elf ass would wither and die in that climate after not too long, but, on the other hand, I have managed to actually survive nearly getting one-shotted by a rattler out in the badlands around Chelan, so… maybe not?

        I’d either need a lightweight poncho or a comical amount of sunscreen.

      I’m in a midsized city in the Midwest. Literally in the middle of it. There’s a herd of deer that lives in a ravine and a golf course nearby. The city stopped relocating or disposing of them a while ago.

      They’re at least smart enough to avoid cars for the most part but they will fuck up your gardens.
