There is a meadow not far from the Ahwahnee Hotel where we've seen mule deer congregate many times, so on our way to dinner, we took a short detour. We were not disappointed. We saw eight of them. Some idiot was giving his kids crabapples to feed the deer, and before long, they came over to take them right out of the kids hands. Right about the time the kids started grabbing the antlers, we decided it was safest to leave, so we took off.
The fat kid with no shirt actually fell over trying to grab an antler and the deer started raising its front hoof. If we didn't have reservations ready to expire, I might have been able to stick around long enough to videotape an episode of "when animals attack."
