Back in the '90s I was conducting a range officer training course and three mule deer walked through the range. It was at a BSA camp, where the Scouts shoot targets at 50 feet. Those deer were less than 30 feet away. I could have dropped one easily with my pistol (.357), but I called a "cease fire" and let them walk through the range.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
