Default RE: What' s the closest you ever got to a deer while hunting?

i have touched a fawn before, tried to pick it up but it kicked free and swelled up my knee bit. we were coming down my road in the rain and i saw a fawn running circles on the dam of the lake and then just drop. Well i put on some gloves and got ready to go catch it. I snuck over there and got within inches of it. it was balled up like a flattened out basketball. I lunged at it, got ahold of it, tried to stnad up and get a better grip on it before it kicked me in the face. After about 5 near groin misses i dropped it and it smoked my knee. Amazing how those tiny little things can kick. It hit the ground on all 4 feet, jumped a couple steps and stopped. i grabbed some grass in my hand and tried to feed it(it was probably too young for grass i guess but it would have felt weird sticking my nipple out to it.....) it sniffed the grass and then trotted off. this was the day after a BAD storm, im guessing the fawn got seperated from its momma in the storm. Man it owuld have been awesome to have a pet deer.
