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.
