Their parents say the 11 and 9-year-olds were so excited about the encounter they couldn't wait to tell their teachers Monday morning.
Their mom Brittany Simons says her 9-year-old son even tried to fire his gun at one point to scare the deer off, but this was one buck who hasn't learned about hunting yet. Curiosity - and perhaps a scent - seemed to get the best of the buck, who even licked the phone at one point.
Apparently not satisfied with what he'd taste, the deer wanders back off into the woods.
