We have to share this planet and arguably they should have first dibs of the green areas, if you were to ask me.

That aside, White Tail Bucks will attack but only during rut, typically September to November. I've heard women menstruating have increased risk of being attacked.

All that said, attacks on humans are quite rare and I've never heard of one being fatal.

I know you're being serious, and it's important information to share, but as soon as I read "women menstruating have increased risk of being attacked" my mind went right to Steve Carrell in Anchorman saying "I've heard their periods attract bears"

Saw a white tail buck on a trail yesterday, came up on it within 10 feet out of no where. I backed up about 20 yards or so for 5 minutes, let it do it’s thing (eating grass) then started walking as it was a little further from the trail. It then ran away as I started walking
