months old. They have become so accustomed to the presence of 

 man that they have been known to stray into the city streets and 

 trot along as if they were in their native elements. In such cases 

 it is usually some dog that will startle them and they are off in a 

 hurry. In the woods, away from civilization, they are always on 

 the alert and looking for danger. If startled the buck will signal 

 danger with a stamp of his hoofs, a shrill whistle and throwing up 

 his tail, showing like a white flag, he is off with his companions for 

 a safer locality.
