Yesterday I passed a private shooting facility with @ 10 active shooters. 300 yds to the side there were deer grazing in an open field.
me the girlfriend and daughter spent thanksgiving at the gf's cabin. We were all sitting on the deck talking about how we never see any wildlife out there when out of no where this 8 point buck walks up. My girlfriend spotted him first and starts shushing us and freaking out like we're going to scare it off. I told her he obviously already knows we're there and isn't concerned. I told her that her frantic attempts to shush me would be more likely to spook it than just being calm and casual, lol... We watched him while he slowly grazed about 20ft from us until he hopped over some bushes and went further down the hill. About 30min later we hear a shot and my daughter says, "well, there goes our deer"
I'm really surprised we saw him considering it's hunting season. I see them every morning at my house during the summer, but they all get shy this time of year.
