Fall is my favorite time to be in the woods.
With me still looking for suitable employment (holding out for management) I've had a bit too much time to enjoy and combine some of my favorite hobbies.
Hiking, cigars and "deer hunting" and Jack Daniels afterward.....
Spotted this guy along with a fork this past week while hiking a bike trail. less than three miles from my home.
I've also met his girls, 5 maybe 6 does on other days. This day he actually turned and followed me for a 1/4 mile, surprised me as I stopped for a drink. He was as close as 30 feet! I waved my arms and in a loud voice to him to knock it off!
I guess the trail turned away from his does because he stopped, I admittedly got a bit concerned when I discovered him so close behind me! Cripes my hearing must be going
