fun loving doe
so i'm down at the river and i see this 2-3 yr old doe munching on a downed tree...she spots me taking pic's and starts coming over to investigate....she slowly walks around behind me, gets closer and starts splashing the water maybe 10-20 feet away....didn't want her coming any closer so i did a little shoo away move toward her.....now normally when you make a move toward a deer they take off.....not this one....it moved away a bit then came back, started jumping around, splashing and then staring at me....so i made another move toward her and she started romping around again....this went on for about 5-10 minutes with me making a move and she reacting to it...seriously, it was like playing around with a dog and i'm pretty sure she was having fun.....she gave me one last look then headed up stream.....a lot of the shots i was taking were out of focus but what can you expect when your jumping around....easily the craziest experience i've ever had with a wild animal
