So one day as I was wandering through the woods I was suprised and awed that about 20 feet away was a family group of white tailed deer laying down to escape the hot summer heat. I paused and grabbed a near by Juniper tree to steady myself so I wouldn't make more noise than necessary. The male of the group looked at me and studied me as if trying to decide if I was a threat. We stared at each other for what felt like forever. Then as if they had spoken to each other they got up and bounded away deeper into the forest. I got the sense that they weren't afraid of me, but rather that they were just going somewhere a bit quieter. I was completely awed and just sat down for a moment as the reality of what I had just seen sunk in. I eventually made my way over to their wallows. I remember pressing my hand into the stag's wallow and feeling a tiny bit of residual body heat and finding a few whisps of shed fur. I hope I never forget that memory or those feelings!
