9 Photos to Make You Wonder, What are These Deer Thinking?

You don't have to be a hunter to appreciate the beauty and majesty of deer around Central New York. And most of us have seen our fair share of them darting in front of our vehicles at all hours of the day. But sometimes they can get themselves in the strangest predicaments.

A recent report from the DEC regarding a deer caught in a gate, got us to thinking about all the similar stories we have seen. Here are 9 pictures to make you wonder, "what where these animals thinking?"
