Thread: Close Encounter

Finally got my arse off the farm.

About half a km towards the tops I spotted two blaze blue figures.
Climbing through the bush to get there.

On arrival I was greeted by another forumite @grunter and his two young lads.
Had a chin wag then I carried on for a few more hours.
Found a lot of trees stripped up further.

Coming around a clearing was a nice yearling at 6 metres away it was grazing on the scrub a matter of seconds and it was gone into the thick stuff.

Closest I have ever been to a wild live deer.
Good hike nice to see you again @grunter and @GWH will be joining them tonight.
I had to get back down to feed out again,good luck fellas.

Never heard any roars or moans but the exact time last year the valley was going nuts.
