Lucky you. Deer ran into the tracks of moving vehicle 4 times, 3 times severe damage, one time just grazed my car.

J I’ve camped in the Pine Barrens. At night it gets really awesome. Only the ranger made me put out the campfire! On the Delaware Water Gap rocks (not trail) my little college group saw deer, and hunters with rifles! BC-A, Bill’s RJLst

My neighbor has many bull elk on his property and a few buffalo as well. They are mostly tame now and the kids love feeding them bits of grass and leaves, they are impressive animals and I understand the primal feeling of being close to them, nice poem.

Re: randy billy goats
Yeah, I had a close encounter of an unwelcome kind at a petting zoo in Kamloops Canada. Ginny and I and little Bobby were on a fly-drive vacation. We had the good fortune to stay at a brandnew motel and the bad misfortune to try a nearby petting zoo whose showers were unequal to the task of dimming out the smell of goat for two whole days. No, I don't think the deer would have accepted you after that. He must have really liked you.

I think one should start with rabbits Bob work up to goats have you ever smelled a randy Billy goat. I approached one once he was on a chain I stood and looked at him and he peed up in the air and over me. Mind I bet I could have walked through your deer afterwards.

My oldest son hunts deer this way
with a bow and arrow. His father was one-quarter Cherokee, and he has studied the old ways, makes his own bows, arrowheads, etc. He described this same sense of awe, actually laid his hand on a young doe that walked right next to him. He said she startled and ran, and he hoped he scared her enough to avoid "the two-leggeds" in the future.
