RE: every build a bond with a deer
There was a bow season a good number of years ago now, where there were 2 apparently orphaned, but old enough to survive fawns that frequented my hunting area. I saw them on almost a daily basis and most of the time walked within 20 yds of them on the way to my tree. Once going in in the dark I literally almost stepped on the one and it scared the H*ll out of me(I didn't use lights going in). As the season lingered on, I'd see them less frequent, and figured they'd started to mature and explore newer areas.
