This little one was following its Mom and sibling across the road. There are so many deer in that area that I always go slow and keep an eye out. I barely saw the movement in the field next to the road and then waited for them to come out and cross. People barrel down on you even when you are stopped in the road. To me, when I see someone stopped in the road I take that as an instant signal that I need to slow it down.
And when you see one deer I always figure that #2 or #3 is close behind. And the awful thing is that so often they dart the opposite way you think they should go! They are like pogo sticks!
what a cutie! good for you for making sure it crossed safely. yeah you’d think seeing someone stopped in the road would give someone a hint to slow down…but there are always dumba$$e$ in a big hurry on their way to nowhere.
