Did my daily 30 mile ride at the wilderness park. It was a nice ride today, especially for viewing wildlife; 6 turkeys, a fairly large gray fox and a nice size doe and two fawns crossing the bike path at various different places. I saw the doe and the fawns on the side of the path getting ready to cross so I stopped and waited for them to do so. After the second fawn crossed the path, I decided to wait a minute and it paid off. The daddy buck slowly walked out of the woods, got to the path and then saw me and darted for the other side. I couldn't count all the spikes, but it looked to be at least a 10 point rack. Two other cyclist stopped, thinking something was wrong, and asked why I was stopped in the middle of the road. It was the first time they had seen a buck in that park since they have been going there. The wild turkeys are a pretty common site and you occasionally see a doe every now and then, but seeing a fox is rare as is seeing a buck. It's only the second buck I have seen there in the two years I've been riding at the park.
