Pretty neat Josh, are those deer trained to look for airplanes before crossing the runway? :D

Actually, they are trained to mark the landing spot! The runway slopes up right to where they are then levels out, so I aim for them when landing! :lol: It's the Canada Geese that think they have the right-of-way...had to apply full power on my last approach to avoid a flock. 8O

Happy New Year! Nice video!

I know what you mean about the deer. I flew into a ranch strip north of Fredericksburg yesterday and there was an axis deer on the runway that would just run around in circles when I buzzed it and by the time I came back around it was still there. I gave up after 3 passes and just landed. The deer moved off the side of the runway then went right back after I passed it.
