I probably saw 30-50 deer from the road that day.

There are always more than 50 deer in just one particular field near me. I was talking with a friend about the deer population and resultant damage just a couple of them can do. 'A couple!, he says, Jump in the truck. So we're driving down a two lane blacktop in farm country and he stops. 'What?', I ask. He points to the tree line on the far edge of an 80A field. 'What?' I ask again.
What I thought was a stand of undergrowth and brush in the trees was actually a solid line of deer. At least 50. Now the interesting thing to me was that he was totally confident that on that random day he knew exactly where a gigantic herd of deer was loitering at dusk.
