that makes my closest wildlife encounter yet. last month it was a young coyote running down the trail just ahead of me....
similar thing happened to me about a week ago
doe and fawn hangin out grazing on the side of the trail, fawn sees me and then so does mommy and they just kinda look, then they creep out onto the trail
i move to the other side of the path and at the last minute they decide to dash off into the brush in my direction, was like 2 feet away
all this at like 25mph on a descent. woof.
i like it when they just run with me on the side of the path and we race
