Took a day trip with a buddy up to an area that 4pointer had told me about. Did a bit of scouting
then decided that we would split up for the rest of the morning. Hiked around for a bit along the
middle portion of the slopes when out of no where a doe gets up and starts hopping away downhill.
Out of curiosity I decided to follow it down, do a little exploring of the area. Eventually things
got too steep so I cut back towards my right. I must have hiked no more then 20-30 yards
and stopped to think about where I was gonna head next, when off to my right, across a small
bare ravine comes this buck. He was following a doe and had his nose literally in her behind.
They were so clueless of my presence that they ended up walking almost right into me, not more
then 5-10 yards between us. Immediatly I identified it and well...you know what came next.
Here's a couple pics to start.
