It's deer related, no?

Ahh, I thought I'd share abit of my own personal life with the community.
I live in a forest, in a called a "village" (a nowadays village is a tight-nit community..usually in a forest next to a city/town, kind of like the things you see in the suburbs of normal cities, these just count for forests)
Anyways, in the 'village' we have these deer called the 'village deer'
Theirs about 50 deer in total - all separated into little herds.
The deer herds take shelter in the tight-nit community because I highly doubt coyotes are tolerated here, thus I see why they're here all the time.
They are actually very friendly, and people (stupidly) feed the herds.
I went walking today to find one, found a little baby and her mother in no less than 5 minutes.
enjoy.

haha, I do wish I had a better camera though...I would take so much nicer photography than the junker and cheap kodak I have now. @A@
But thank you. <3

And I was only about 3-5 feet away, either way veeery close..I was actually kind-of scared.
I kept my distance though, ehh. Mom + baby = not a good thing. xD;

Haha, I don't recommend trying it if you ever do get the chance. Deer are so vicious.
But these deer are so tame surprisingly, or just calm around people. xD;

I agree! I went to try to get close to some deer before and almost got trampled by a buck!
I did get REAL up close to some fawns like you did though once. It was amazing!

Those are wonderful

Those are wonderful pictures! I envy you, wishing I was able to get that close to wild deer. But then again, it's probably because they're used to people feeding them. Which is wrong!

@Iaurdagnire - haha, she itched for the longest time, I was so lucky to get it.

@Fenqua - I've only seen one man feeding a stag and his herd just a bunch of leaves once, but I'm sure - since they're people friendly - they're feeding them much much more.
Deer should be wild and afraid of people, sadly. Not everyone's nice. xD;

Thank you for the wonderful compliment though!
