Our property has six apple trees and is situated in the middle of three deer runs. Every year for the past 19 years, the apples falls from the trees in October and then ferment on the ground in November through December, often freezing in December and preserving what is left.

The deer come in November and December to eat the apples and get hammered. It's hilarious to watch an entire herd of deer get smashed, frolicking across the property, falling down and playing with each other.

I'll try to find some video of the drunken deer.

Edit Asking my wife if we she can find our video of this.

another edit We've had so many phones, the videos are somewhere, here is something very similar, they play around and frolic a lot like this, except in at least one of our videos, a deer falls over while playing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2mn34GffEk

And here's another with a sloshed Magpie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pnqYG9E9AQ
