Saw something similar one time.
Somewhere in the Clements Rd location a mate and I stalked together trying to get onto roaring Sika stags. We got into a stag's patch but couldn't see him although he was close. My mate decided to carry on alone a bit further while I stayed put and watched. I could see my mate the whole time and he had gone about 60 or 70 yds when a young stag silently stepped out of thick growth and watched before folowing my mate for a short time. My mate was intensely looking ahead and had no idea. The stag never saw me. It was sactually quite comical and a pleasure to watch. Then the stag dissolved buck into the scrub and disappeared. We both had a good laugh when I recounted with my mate. We were both young then and still learning about Sika.
