Deer Synchronization

I found deer footprints in my backyard after the recent snow. (No art intended here, rare in my work anyway)
What I found interesting was that there were three deer, which I know because just behind me when I shot this is my trail camera, which shot 30 seconds of video of them passing right by.
Looking at the footprints, I noted that, except were one deer got out of sync for a few steps near the center of the photos, the two trailing deer were stepping exactly in the lead deer's footprints. The snow wasn't that deep, 5 - 6 inches max. Odd, I've never noticed that before. Does anyone know if this is a common deer behavior?
