Because the next door neighbor feeds them, deer in our neighborhood have become quite habituated.
So, they do not fear humans and will come quite close. They will come right up to our deck.
Because of the diseases and parasites, they can carry, I'm not overly thrilled about this. The above female has several ticks attached to her one ear. A couple of days later, I found two ticks on Bailey who never gets off our deck. That was very upsetting.
I like deer, but I don't like them this close in my yard.
