Two years ago, about this time of year, I was walking down a logging road one afternoon when I saw a spotted fawn come loping down the road toward me from 150 yards away. Thinking that something might be chasing it, I drew my revolver and waited, but the fawn seemed to be alone. When it got to about twenty five yards away it turned into the brush on the side of the road and continued to trot along---I was still watching back up the road for a dog or coyote or whatever. I thought it had gone on past me, when I heard a stick crack right by the road. When I cut my eyes over, the fawn stepped out into the road, walked over to me and stopped right by my knee, so close that I could have moved my leg and bumped it. The poor little thing had its tongue hanging out and was breathing hard, and I could think of no benefit for me to try to touch it---it obviously thought I was a stump or something. It paused there for a few seconds and let me admire it, then trotted off into the woods. I never saw its mother and when I went back the next morning I saw its tracks in the sand where it had returned, but there were no accompanying doe tracks. It was just one of those things that happens to you if you mess around in the outdoors long enough.

Last year while ground hunting in a old office chair(very comfortable) i had two does that i think were 1 or 2 years old come up behind me. I looked at the two trails they could have chosen. One was less than a foot from me, the other was about 3 feet. They obviously knew something was in the chair and busted me. Oh well, maybe this year!
