I was walking into a high seat at zero dark thirty, hear this crashing sound and fired up my flashlight. A third year old Red Deer Buck was raising a ruckus. He decided I was his new play toy. Thankfully I was in a stand of Pine that was about half mature and hadn't been thinned yet. Seems like forever I was dodging around Pine trees and trying to keep trees between me and him. It went on for a long time, best guess is 3/4 of an hour. I was getting a little panicky and huffing like a steam engine after awhile. I never really did figure out if he was playing or looking for trouble or both. It was more like hide and seek than a serious sort of thing.

Now that i know the law, the next time I'll turn out my light and play that game in the dark.
