Nara Park and Miyajima Island are the only 2 places I know of with deer freely roaming in public. (Miyajima also has monkeys). I made sure not to take out any food (or anything they might think vaguely resembles food) unless I meant to feed the deer there. They are happy to be fed, but they don't like it (or believe it) when the food runs out! They are sure you must still be hiding more of it somewhere, and will check you out to be sure. The best way to get out of that is to be near other people who still have food, as the deer will then go for the easy score. If not, they might nip at you a little bit, grab your jacket, etc, till they realize you aren't holding out on them.
