Animals are always on the bubble of life or death. Always. Everything is always about to kill/eat them, or something they might be able to kill/eat, so it’s a mix of curiosity and fear.
When that deer beat the shit out of your friend and his buddies, it was a life or death thing the deer was contending with thinking it was about to be killed and eaten, so nothing’s off the table to get out of that situation.
Meanwhile, your buddy and his friends were drunk and doing it for the lulz.
That’s kinda the same reasoning I am more scared to fight homeless people than any other rando. Those people don’t have anything to lose. If they are in the moment and want to fight you, then all bets are off.
The difference is literally life and death.

Deer will always win with those stakes.

Tell that to all the drunk hunters out there
