Does OP know that alot of the deers at Nara do this?

It also bears saying that a lot of the deer in Nara don't do this.

While there are some very polite deer, there are also some very entitled deer. Ones who tend to get rather offended either that you don't have the requisite deer cookies. Or that you do, and you aren't fast enough to make with the goods.

As a related side-note: If you're going to visit Nara in the summer, don't wear sandals. Having a deer step on your foot, while they're clamoring for deer cookies, can be rather painful.

Apparently not. I was there 50+ years ago, and the only thing you were allowed to feed them then were the special-diet cookies (like the girl has) they made for the deer. There were also signs warning, in about 5 or 6 languages, that it was rutting season and you should be careful around the bucks.

Or that respecting them is leaving them alone

I went there last year. I bought some cookies and immediately they rushed me, they bit my hand, and even stepped on my foot to keep me from backing away. But that was the rude bunch hanging by the snack cart.

The rest of them further along were bowing when I had no food.

Isn't this some sort of challenge within Deer Culture?

Bowing your head give you cookies. That's amazing news for the deer.
