I know some of you might not be able to see this video.... but if ya can... what the heck do you think is going on here? Co-worker posted this vid from her doorbell camera... and said that the field is wide open.... no fences, clotheslines or anything else there.... watch the deer on the right.

Are the two smaller animals that run off, as the larger deer approaches the smaller one, deer, dogs, or coyotes? It appears to be running them off and then bluffing it's way back from them.

2 semi overlapping video clips

First one forward
2nd one in reverse

That deer identifies as Michael Jackson

Moon walked. lol

Look closer. Pretty sure those "small animals" are shadows of deer that are mostly out of the frame.

Yes, what we see are shadows, but they are obviously made by animals, so I know there are animals present there, which is why I asked what they were.

I am not sure but to me they looked like more deer?

The gait of the shadows is a little different. I think they could be from deer, or coyotes, but are more likely dogs. When deer do a bluff charge they run in, bouncy like that. If the thing they charged doesn't react scared, they often back up, rather than exposing their rear too attack. A lot of other animals usually do that too.

I think Keith nailed it. Looks like the deer ran off a dog.

I was thinking ground squirrel hole , leg hit just right to go down the hole with forward momentum , hyper extending the joint.

painful but not hard to pull the leg out of , looks like a pain response to me
