At the FBI Academy, the deer have even become part of the training in some of the driving courses, said Tim Moles, the supervisory special agent who oversees the Tactical and Emergency Vehicle Operations Center, where recruits learn to avoid crashing their cars and conduct surveillance without being spotted. The deer are convenient when recruits learn to avoid collisions, Moles said. "There's times when it seems like they're playing chicken with us," Moles said. "We respect them because they can do damage. We'd rather avoid all deer stories in this end of the academy."

Deer will mess up a car. I'm surprised they haven't elected to use the snipers to clean that up.

I used to drive past the FBI training area when I was stationed at HMX. You could stop and wait as herds would cross the road. Quantico has a very healthy population of deer.

Re: Deer hanging out with the FBI

I thought this was a funny mental image.

The property on the Marine Corps base in Quantico, Va., <span style="color: #FF0000">is home to some of the FBI's most elite forces</span> and training programs as well as a de facto wildlife refuge where deer, fox, wild turkeys, groundhogs and vultures roam fearless and free.

In recent years, a black bear was spotted running across a parking lot, <span style="color: #FF0000">and a groundhog cornered an FBI agent coming out of the cafeteria,</span> hoping to score some human food, FBI spokesman Kurt Crawford said.

Nice to know the elite forces of the FBI can be cornered by a ground hog!!!!
