Seems like the young ones are most likely to stay on the trails. I've noticed that the mature deer head out of the way further ahead while the little buggers will try running the trail to get away.
The stretch I'm talking about has an incredible deer population. If we do a sundown pass, it's common to see 40-50 deer.
Here's a funny story about the deal. We had a sled break down and towed it to a bar along that stretch. We left a buddy sitting at the bar while we rode back to get a trailer for the sled. He said that one of the locals sitting at the bar was bitching about how the wolves were decimating the deer population. Buddy said to the guy,
"You must not ride snowmobile."
Bartender chimed in and said,
"For sure."
Apparently the bartender is a local first responder. They get a lot of accident injury calls to that section of trail. I know there have been fatal accidents in that stretch as well.
