as we saw a couple of deer right next to the road.\u00a0 We were going to take a picture or two, but then we saw a couple walking toward the deer with a bag of bread.\u00a0 So, we backed up the road a little bit to watch.<\/p>\n<p>The two deer saw the couple and one started to leave, but the other turned toward them and actually starting walking toward them.\u00a0 The woman got a piece of bread out of the bag and tossed it towards the deer, and with a few pieces and some encouragement she got the deer to take food from her hand!\u00a0 It was very cool to watch!<\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\"
