Cold this morning, -28 at my place. Fire Marshall told me so. Had him come over for permits to burn brush piles.
Anyway, about 15 minutes after I rattle out the back window, in comes a wee spiker. Then a fork horn, then a wee 3x3 ! And I'm looking out an open window with the binos at the silly bucks ! No fear !
But have work to do. So out I go to load the truck with fire stuff. Start one and these bucks are still hanging around, well under 100yds. After starting the second brush pile I'm headed back to the truck and spot one of the bucks up the lane way, between the house and the truck. Keep in mind this "playing" has been going on for a couple hours now. So I put my arms above my head, fingers spread. Take 2-4 steps swaying my arms a bit, stop, do so again, stop etc. Buck sees me finally. Rather than run, he starts doing the same as me, towards me
Got withing 60 feet of each other before he trots back towards the house. Laughing, I walk back to the truck. Turning around, the darn thing is following me
All this sarted at about 8(ish) AM and a couple of them are still in the bush line. They can be odd this time of year
I have a tag: draw only here though. Fun morning watching Deer so close all morning !
