Gone But Not Forgotten

During the Cold War, barbed wire and an electric fence divided Eastern Europe from the West, separating the deer population into two groups.
Deer follow traditional trails, which are taught to each generation by its forebears. Now that the fence is gone, red deer range on both sides of the border but refuse to cross it. Us and Them – Futility Closet

Your Say

I don't know about that, I have seen deer running in the city away from the woods. Maybe they were spooked out of their natural territory but they didn't limit themselves to a boundary. I would also think that the smell of a female deer in heat would be enough for a male deer to think about going where the sent was coming from.

Unless these are good communist deer.
