I just happened to catch them before they went into hiding for the day.<br />-<br /><br />Icy BC - I'm glad they didn't charge at me too. It was a very tense situation for a few minutes there.<br />-<br /><br />Ginnymo - I have learned to present myself as no threat so well that it is sometimes a problem, like in this encounter. I might have been able to scare them easily though if they would have tried something.<br />-<br /><br />Joe Todd - No skunks yet, thankfully. There are plenty around here though. I had been smelling skunk in that same area for a few days on the previous week. I want to see one, but not that close.<br />-<br /><br />PJ - It's a great meadow for the animals. I could be Dr. Doolittle but none of the animals ever listen to me when I try to tell them what to do. :)<br />-<br /><br />JStantonChandler - The nodding motion they make is kind of like that of a bull getting ready to charge. I've never heard any sounds, but I can imagine.<br />-<br /><br />The Retired One - That first one practically walked right up to me. It was looking at me the whole time as it moved forward.<br />-<br /><br />Jackie - Actually it was in a nature preserve that I got the pictures. It's a very small one. We have then scattered throughout the area. It's a very populated area so the deer see humans all the time. They are protected around here because there are too many people, so no hunting is allowed.<br />-<br /><br />Poetic Shutterbug - Deer are mostly afraid of humans, but they seem to like challenging me. Maybe it's because I work at looking not dangerous to them. It's strange because I have been known to send humans running with just a look. :)<br />-<br /><br />Ann - You're exactly right! And I get more than any hunter. I have the pictures to prove it. :)<br />-<br /><br />Lin - I wasn't sure anyone would catch that. This was a big encounter, so it can't end there, can it? :)<br />-<br /><br />Vagabonde - Thanks. That is a high compliment. :)<br />-<br /><br />Rainfield - Yes! You understand completely because of your monkeys. These deer are mostly bluffing when they threaten me though. I don't think I would challenge a monkey like I did the deer. <br /><br />This was indeed very fun.<br />-<br /><br />Mike - Yes, they are familiar with humans. They also roam our neighborhoods, and sometimes sleep behind people's houses.<br />-<br /><br />Ashley - It was actually the deer that got close to me. They walked right up and basically challenged me to leave the meadow. They tried to chase me away.<br />-<br /><br />Betchai - Thanks. I hoped you would like it, especially the meadow.<br />-<br /><br />Harumi - You got it exactly right! The deer were thinking just what you thought they were, and they forcefully let me know it.Rick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-63774700991084549872009-08-21T02:12:31.627-05:002009-08-21T02:12:31.627-05:00Wow.. lucky you to get that close to a herd of dee...Wow.. lucky you to get that close to a herd of deers.

I had a close deer encounter a couple of years ago in Marin County. I have to admit it scared me but he basically just looked at me for a few seconds then walked away.

These are fabulous shots and I know how difficult it is to catch deer out in the open and not have them run from you.<br /><br />They must live on a preserve or some sort of protected area where they are not hunted.<br /><br />It's very unusual to have them not fear you. Good for you and good for us that you got these!!<br /><br />They are wonderful and I think the misty morning just adds a magical feel to the entire scene!!<br /><br />I love it!<br />JackieJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378896151545384221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-21561159492446759552009-08-20T11:40:13.297-05:002009-08-20T11:40:13.297-05:00very unique experience!
