Deer without fear

Something I've noticed the past week or two or three:

There have been a lot of deer along the country roads where I drive. They seem to be spending more time grazing in lawns. I assume that's because the food supply in the woods has dried up -- literally. Deer are grazing closer to the road, and they no longer run away at the sound of a car passing by, even a few feet away.

And I have seen a lot more small deer -- which I assume are young deer -- than normal.

Has anyone else noticed this, or has anyone else noticed anything else unusual about deer this fall?
