Oh wow. Glad you're ok. Poor deer.... I've seen groups of them on the side of I-5, wanting to cross, looking trapped.

Apparently they're quite active lately in the arboretum. These weren't aggressive but they weren't fearful, either. I saw three total; two came out of the woods to play-fight each other, and were easily within 15 feet of three different groups of humans at 4:30 in the afternoon.
