Aggressive roe doe

My park fallow are quite fascinated by my dogs, and when the dogs are loose on the yard the deer will sometimes come right down to the gate for a closer look. On one occasion a pricket actually touched noses with one of the collies through the gate. Yet if I approach the gate the deer are gone in a flash.
Very selective deer, they know you have murderous intent on occasions, sheep dogs not generally so much. Either that or they don't like your aftershave.
 
Spoke to the boss this morning. He's a bit shaken up after his encounter with a roe doe yesterday.
Walking his two dogs,springers, just inside a bit of woodland on the estate, one at heel and one bumbling about in front.
Dog in front comes running back with tail between his legs,hotly pursued by a roe doe. She stopped upon seeing the boss, then started growling at him with both forelegs stamping. He shouted at her ,she then advanced on him meaning business.
He swished his thumbstick at her but she started circling him and the dogs, keeping up the growling. She was then joined by a 6 pointer buck, that really worried him,the thought of being butted by the buck.
Both continued to circle him, keeping the growling up. He withdrew the way he'd come and they let him go on his way once he was outside the wood.
Guess he got too close to her kids, she's only being a good mum.
I managed to keep a straight face when he was telling me, honestly!
Deer deer deer 🦌 🤤
