I took a bit of a walk yesterday afternoon, from the Old Troy Rd. Entrance for Glen Carbon Heritage Bike Trail, down to Greenspace East, the loop around there and back. A tad over 2.5 miles, but we're talking July in St. Louis area, I think the Heat Index was 97. Still, a nice outing, though I was a bit wet / sticky at the end.
Anyway, I was about 2/3 of the way around the loop when I noticed this deer maybe 30 years off in the overgrowth. It held still long enough for me to manager a few photos, trying to shift to get the clearest shot. The one here was the best:
This deer seemed pretty young to me, or was at lest a bit small (by deer standards). Bigger than a fawn, but not full grown.

Below is a bit more than 1/2 of the way around the park, the spot where I saw the seer would be off to the right, maybe 350-400 yards.

Here's what I managed:
