Construction Deer.

Just walked into the patch of woods right next to our job site in Kingston and bumped into a nice size doe. She made about three jumps and then turned around to see what spooked her. I sat down in front of a tree down wind of her. Ten minutes later she came walking back, tail waging and everything. She walked to within 5 yards of me and bedded down. It's preety cool how they can get your heart pumping even out of season

.

She started to doze off, so I thought I would leave before she got too comforatble. You should have see the look on her when I stood up at 5 yards

.

It's funny how used to human noise they can get. She was bedded down about 50 yards from where our excavator was working.

Forgot to mention that the excavator was a John Deere

. Maybe she wanted to be friends

I shot a bear once 100 yards from oil drilling thing in northern Alberta.
If not for the noise the bear would hear us driving to the spot

If it was the deere excavator that doe has good taste

John Deere makes the best equipment $ can buy.

That's cool! I think deer, especially outside of hunting season, will find sanctuary in close proximity to people, as predators are generally even less comfortable around people.

too many deer too close to too many people is one of the reasons i bought a crossbow... they will destroy gardens and even shrubbery
