Strange deer encounter
« on: October 17, 2010, 06:45:59 PM »
Well I didn't have any luck locating a shooter buck up the Entiat this weekend, but I did have an interesting encounter with a hungary doe.  As I worked my way up a heavily timbered ridge I spotted this doe about 50 yards uphill watching me.  As I stood there watching her for about 3 minutes I realized she was in no hurry to leave so I decided to keep hiking toward her.  I walked to within 10 feet of her and she didn't move.  Thinking this was a Kodak moment,  I knelt down and got my camera and a sandwich out of my pack.  I tore off a piece of bread and held out my hand and she came walking right to me!  I spent about 5 minutes feeding this doe my sandwich while taking pictures.  For whatever reason I couldn't get her to eat the meat.  :chuckle:  After the feeding I packed up and continued my hike peering back occasionally to see the deer standing where I left her.

She was probably waiting for you to pee.  :chuckle: funny but serious: they want your salt!

I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.

She did lick my sweaty hand after I wiped my face.  Didn't offer her any pee.  Maybe next time  :)

...that bottom pic is creeping me out  :chuckle:

Had a similar situation yesterday/today. Had a doe/fawn hang around my blind for well over 5 ours yesterday, no matter what type of stupid thing I did, they would stay. More does ended up coming in to the area (6 in all), maybe 20 yards away until the light ran out. Today the same doe/fawn showed up, I needed to check out the area behind them so I slowly walked within 15 feet of them to the nearby greenbelt... no worries. Had to walk back out a similar way, same thing... aside from predators, I have a feeling they know theyre untouchable
