[QUOTE]Originally posted by NaturalResources: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by turbokid: [qb] looks like you stumbled across bambi's hangout. cool pics [/qb][/QUOTE]Interestingly, I had one other close encounter with a young deer in my outdoor treks, and fortunately had my camera ready. Often times when surveying as the "gunman", one must stand in the same place on a known point for 10-15 minutes while the other person the "rodman" looks for information on the ground needed for the survey. It so happened that during one of those times, I was standing silently and heard a rustling in the bushes nearby that was getting closer and closer. It was fairly loud and I knew whatever it was, it must be bigger than the squirrels or wild birds one usually hears rustling in the woods. I pulled out my camera hoping that I could at least get a good shot of whatever popped out of the brush before it saw me and ran away, or in the case of a bear, mauled me to death. Then, a young deer, probably a few months old appeared and looked up at me. Then to my surprise, instead of turning and fleeing, it stood completely still. I looked at it, and it looked at me for about 30 seconds before I realized I had my camera in hand. I snapped a picture thinking this would be the closest I would ever get to a deer in the wild... But then, (and this will sound unbelievable), this deer started walking closer. I snapped pictures as it approached. I crouched down to make myself smaller and extended my hand out in front of me. The deer came closer and closer until it stopped a few feet away and just stared at me. I couldn't believe this was happening. It was like something out of a movie. At this point, I decided to see if I could bridge the final gap, and touch this wild creature that had walked up to me without any fear. Unfortunately, I was unable to, because just as I closed within a few inches of it, the "rodman" yelled out "I found it!", (the pin for the property corner), from a few hundred feet away and startled the deer, which ran off in the woods, never to be seen again. My hands shaking, I shared the story with the "rodman" who had walked back over to me, and of course he thought I was full of it, but I told him I would prove it the next day when I downloaded the images from my camera. All day I couldn't stop thinking about the whole incident and how my pictures would turn out. When I finally got home, I was a bit disappointed because I guess my hands were so uneasy that the pictures were pretty blurred, but still, here they are. It may sound corny, but I will never forget that incident as long as I live.
