Deer mating season in San Rafael, California

Thanksgiving is approaching, meaning it is also the deer mating season. Bucks can barely focus on anything else but the females that surround them. Because of this situation, that's the time of year when lots of accidents occur on the road due to deer crossing.

nous avons presque les mêmes ici; le pire, c'est quand ils sortent
en sautillant à moitié ivres de phéromones des champs de mais
(non, pas ceux de S K ou Night S...)et là, dans ta voiture, tu
pleures : non, tu n'iras PAS au paradis des chevreuils et autres
grands cornus...
