sat in awe on seeing a mother deer with her fawn
I was hiking with this real city girl one time and walked right up to about 30' away from that once. The doe did a great job of hiding themselves in plain sight to the point where my girl thought I was nuts for a minute until she saw them both. I had her get behind me right away, we were way too close for safty with nothing but a plastic soda bottle and a pack of smokes for defense is she charged. But she didn't, she tried to lead us away from the fawn lying by a rock. We watched her for a minute or two and then left her alone. Well now, about 45 minutes later, after we found our way out of the woods from our impromptu hike, this crashing sound comes from the woods and who is it but the same doe and fawn. She skidded to a stop on the park road and just looked at us from about 20' away this time! Let me tell you was she(the doe) was even more suprised than me. After a good 15-20 seconds of the stare-down again, she bolted off into the woods from the way she came.
