Austin is very green and environmental-friendly, even for a large city, and deer roam around like humans because they are fed and taken care of here.

Not only did they mob me, but one of them popped my right in the eye with his antler (I'm really short). Then he grabbed my sisters purse and grabbed a plastic luck charm out of it and chewed it all to pieces. They were still cute, though. We also saw people running and crying.

I got mobbed by them and one decided it didn't want to wait for me to present him with a cookie...he just took it. I ended up getting my finger gnawed. It hurt for hours. I barely survived.

They watch and see who buys them from the carts and mob them. Yes. They are indeed aggressive deer. They are not horns, they’re antlers. They get shed.
