Where they live it is likely one of the sub-division areas up there at the base of Pikes Peak. Lot of 40 acre and smaller sections, deer get accustomed to people combine that humanization with the rut and that is the result...
When I lived on the USAFA, the neighbor lady kept trying to pet the deer. I told her that was a dumb idea but she didn't listen. Too bad she didn't learn a lesson. They are "wild" deer but so used to people you could easily get within 10' of them.

Let me guess, you drive a 1 ton with oak trees for smoke stacks, 12" lift kit and 40" tires to pull a single place lawn mower trailer?
