Walking with the Deer

I pulled up to the beginning of the hike I planned on taking with Roland today and viola! there were a dozen deer munching the new green grass poking up.  They ignored me and Roland as we went our merry way.  Springtime up here creates a different etiquette between animals and people.  More and more people have piled into our state, many of them with no previous knowledge of wild life not on a television set.  The animals keep moving away from humanity in the decreasing areas they can live in.  They know when they are around people and dogs who are no threat to them.
