[#ff0000]I was down in the river bottoms of Montana when a Whitetail popped up straight across a little field from me and spotted me and disappeared. I sat still for a while and watched when another deer popped up in the same spot. I watched it cautiously scope out the meadow for about ten minutes, decided it was safe, and trotted out to feed. It paused and looked behind it until a little fawn popped out and played along beside her. The doe kept stopping and looking back where it had emerged, with that irritated mom look I've seen about 10,000 times, when a second fawn reluctantly came out. It was the deer that had seen me. They were working their way straight toward me and the closer they got the more nuts the second fawn got, with much chastisement from mom to settle it down. This went on for about twenty minutes until she was within three feet of me. She finally saw me and took off across the field with that little guy prancing off behind her with the biggest "I told you so" look I have ever seen. [/#ff0000]
