After we bought our boat in early 1994, spent almost every weekend at Watch Hill on Fire Island where we docked our boat in the marina. Watch Hill had a large marina, a beach on both the Great South Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, camp grounds, a nature walk, restraunt, snack bar and a bar. If you walked a few hundred yards east on the ocean beach side, you entered the wilderness area of Fire Island. The wilderness area on Fire Island is the only wilderness area in NY State as I recall.
But there was one thing I didn’t like about Watch Hill, it was those damn deer. They were infested the Lyme disease carrying ticks. They weren’t afraid of people at all, as I guess you can tell by this picture. One day we were eating at one of the picnic tables and the person next to me got up. A minute or so later, one of the deer tried to eat the food right off the table next to me. I reached over, smacked it on the nose and it took off. Damn deer!

ReplyDeleteBig meanie! Just kidding!
ReplyDeleteYou know how much someone in Michigan would pay to have that head hanging on their wall?
Happy HNT!
Of course I know how envious the hunters among us are when they see this picture. Why do you think I posted it? ;-)
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm a meany in more ways than one.
Nice picture my dear. Oh yeah I know, that's lame.
ReplyDeleteHappy HNT Tony!
ReplyDeleteOMG, they're so BOLD! That's amazing!
ReplyDeleteHappy HNT!
Damn! I've never been that close to a deer before. Beautiful creatures.....
ReplyDeleteHappy HNT!
That's very cool!
ReplyDeleteHappy HNT! :)

ReplyDeletehappy HNT
Damn BTE, I can see that baby strapped across my hood all the way from Louisiana! HHNT Friend.
ReplyDeleteTG
Wow! I'm amazed that you're able to get that close. It's a cool photo. Happy HNT, my dear. :)
ReplyDeleteWELL, being from Texas, I have to admit...That isn't exactly a Boone & Crockett record breaker. hehe You know we have big egos to match our "everything in Texas is bigger" attitudes. :-D
ReplyDeleteAt least you have a picture next to a nice rack. *snickering*
Happy HNT Tony!!
i woulda pooped my pants! hhnt
ReplyDeleteYeah when they come right up to you it's kind of unnerving. Cute for about five seconds till you see the GIANT FRELLING deer ticks swarming their torsos...
ReplyDeleteshudder....
Happy HNT BTE!
WOW. That is a lot of deer and pointy rack. WOW. I can't say that I wouldn't be a little nervous.
ReplyDeleteHappy HNT.
dang, i would've been shaking in my shoes! happy hnt!
ReplyDeletewow! that is really amazing. yeah i can see all the hunters drolling over this shot. happy HNT!
ReplyDeleteHard to tell who's hornier in that pic. **grins**
ReplyDeleteand BTW...I love Blondie's "nice rack" comment.
Happy HNT!!
Very cool deer shot and story. But you should be careful about smacking deer - what if he got mad and told his cousin who's a reindeer? Then he'll tell Santa and suddenly you're on the "naughty" list.
ReplyDeleteNeat pic! Even without the porn or ass haha. I've only seen wild deer - never touched one that was friendly.
ReplyDeleteOh, my kids would be delighted. We have 10 acres, and whenever a herd is moving through the yard, the children chase them. One particularly stupid doe chose to give birth in the fenced-in enclosure that contains 2 Siberian Huskies and one large black dog. It was the prettiest dead baby dear I've ever seen. Sigh.
ReplyDeletewow, you got that close?
ReplyDeleteMakes you want got a gun and hang that sucker on the wall.
ReplyDeleteWell, not really it just popped into my head.
I gave up hunting a lont time ago.
That is so cool! Our dear are a bunch of chickens!
ReplyDeleteHappy HNT!
Yes, thats what happens when people feed wild animals, they get too brave. Cute post BT Happy HNT!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is really damn close! They don't come that close to people around here, unless they are frozen in the headlights in the middle of the street.
ReplyDeleteHappy HNT
Hey, that deer is completely nekkid!
ReplyDeleteHappy HNT
That is too too cool. Happy HNT, BTE! I want to go to the beach.....
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious! It's amazing how stupid deer can be...especially during mating season! I remember my first time going hunting...I shot and missed completely. The deer just stood there looking around...gave me a great opportunity to put him down for the count on the second shot! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy HNT Tony!
-Mike
Oh Wow! Cool...Happy HNT!
ReplyDeleteI think I would have FREAKED out! HHNT!
ReplyDeleteI am surprised that this encounter didn't leave you with a scar!
ReplyDeleteI have a better weapon than water to get rid of them. And once is usually enough. Nice pic tho. I have a similar one I may post later.
ReplyDeletewell they may be a pain sometimes but they are definately beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am such a dork, I thought this was you, you can ignore that email about where your blog is....duh...thank you again. I just did a new post, chek it out.
ReplyDeleteI just managed to squeeze in a little "catch-up" with your blog! Yay! Cool things are happening, my friend! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy too! Cheers!
ReplyDeletewow. nature. close.
