Herding deer

I had a wonderful and weird experience this morning. I turned on to the MUP that I usually ride and about 30 yards up the trail was a buck with a small 6 point rack standing in the trail. I slowed figuring he would bolt and run. Instead he walked/trotted aong the trail for about another 100 yards with me rolling slowly behind 25-30 feet away. Every once in a while he would pause and look back at me as I coasted along and then decide to trot along a little further. Finally, he found a good place to exit the MUP into the brush and stood on the embankment watching me ride by. It was a very cool way to start the day! In five years of ride ing it the first time I have ever herded a deer. Just one more experience you won't have in a car.
