Yeah, that's a big pine cone! I think being attacked by a deer in the wild is somewhat unlikely, but I know deer can be dangerous. I knew a girl that worked for a zoo; she was allowed in with most of the animals but not the deer. Apparently when a woman is menstruating the male deer get very aggressive. A ways back I saw a video of some kind of African deer charging a guy that was riding a mountain bike and knocked him clean out!
