Went out to the levee on Ex-Girlfriend super early before the temps got too hot. The usual loop, or i guess now awkward in/out because of shitty dog owners. On my way back in, I crested the levee and I saw a fawn sitting in the grass near a corn field. As I approached, I could see him tracking me. Then I saw a second fawn step out of the corn field, and they both started running toward me!
At first I was taken aback and nervous. I have heard stories of stags taking out bikers during certain times of the years, but these two little guys still had their white spring spots. So I made some noise and yelled a little bit to try to scare them away. But they just kept running.
I slowed down to admire. They paced alongside me, about ten yards away. They took two regular running steps then one giant leap. Two regular running steps then one giant leap. Two regular running steps then one giant leap. They got such air time with the leaps and were so smooth with their movements that it seemed like it was happening in slo-mo. Majestic!
They just wanted to play! They ran alongside me for about 200 yards until we got to the end of the levee.
