I know whitetail deer are a curious animal to an extent, butisn't their fear of humans and fire much stronger? I ask because something was walking around out beyond the light of the bonfire and we could not see what it was.(this happenedat thanksgiving time a few years back and the topic comes up everyso often)Must have been a larger animal because there wasnt the rustling of thegrass that goes along with smaller animals.It scaredthe girlsbad enough that they wanted to leave(after Isuggested the possibility it might be a mountain lion or another human maybe). I'm honestly not sure what it was but a curious whitetailor a buck wanting to protect its territory seems to make the most sense. actually it did sound like a human walking around but its not really the type of area for someone else to be especially in the middle of the night. So whats your opinion? Ridicule me if you must but my curiousity is getting the best of me.
