When I was working nights I would get off of work at about midnight every night. It was early in my career when there was not that many people working out here. So in turn there would be a bunch of deer all around the property. They were really cool to watch some nights when things were really slow. But they were super fast of course and as always paid close attention to their surroundings and if anything moved then they were outta there quick.
Well one night we saw this one and I dared the guy I was working with to be able to run to it and be able to touch it before it could get away. He took the bet and that deer beat him by a mile. Which was good because this guy was always bragging about how good he was at everything so of course he thought he would be able to catch the deer.
A couple of nights after that bet he said to me that he bet I wouldn't even get as close to the deer as he did. And I am not confident about much, but I am confident about how fast I am. I didn't think I was fast enough to catch a deer, but I knew I would be able to beat him. Well I thought wrong.
When we got off of work that night we saw a bunch of deer, but one had something stuck to his antlers. It was white and bulky. I don't know how, but he got stryofoam stuck to his antlers and was trying to get off. Which probably is the reason I was able to do what I was about to attempt to do.
I took off running at this deer. And most of the other deer noticed me immediantly and tok off. But this guy was so busy trying to mess with this thing on his head that he didn't notice me until it was to late. Now I personally would never hurt another animal, I have never hunted, but I have gone fishing. Anyways he finally did notice me, but I was so close there was nothing that he could do. I actually ended up grabbing that stryofoam off of his antlers that he had stuck, and right before he took off a gave him a little slap on the butt.
My coworker was astounded. He couldn't believe what he just saw. He thought I was the fastest person he ever met, when in truth it was just because the deer couldn't tell what was going on because he had a foreign object stuck to him. But he told everyone how I ran faster than this deer and slapped him on the butt and he was witness to it.





Funny story. Too bad you didn't bet your co-worker any money on it!
