I must tell you about the most surreal experience on Sunday at the Hollywood Bowl. I am still in utter disbelief that it happened at all, but since my boyfriend verifies it, my eyes must not have been playing tricks. My boyfriend and I, along with a friend of ours were walking away from the venue towards where the buses are parked (To those of you who are familiar with the bowl, we were nearly to the parking lot right where Barham becomes Highland). Suddenly, faster then my eyes could focus the two people, a mother and her teenage son where knocked down in front of us, just violently hurled to the ground. At which point I hear someone behind me say, “That was a 10 point buck”. Darting away from the people on the ground with tremendous force and speed is indeed a huge male dear with beautifully pronged antlers.
The teenager has responded with alacrity. Thinking he was being attacked, he has arisen quickly and is looking for the person who struck him, ready for revenge. His mother is far more dazed, having taken the brunt of the frightened animals getaway and although she is not severely hurt, she is shaken and repeats to my boyfriend, “A deer?” when he explains what hit her with such energy to send her sprawling. Doubtfully, there is a lesson here. About the cohabitation of people and animals, but I am loath to extrapolate it for you. Since I saw no articles on the incident, I figured I would post one myself. If you were witness to this rather bizarre occurrence, please let me know.

Hey, thanks for the post. I have had many similar experiences here in the DC area, and it pisses me off. So many times I have seen animals watching traffic from the side of the highway, and they seem to be thinking, "Where did my house go?" So sad.
