HOLY BUCK!!!!
So today after I was done working I went up to Woods Lake to do some fishing. I had been there for about a half an hour and had already caught one fish. When all of a sudden I heard the craziest noises coming from the forest behind me. It sound like Bigfoot or a bear running through the forest breaking branches off of trees and a loud running sound. So I put my fishing pole down and thought for sure a bear was going to come running out of the bushes as the sound got louder and closer. Then all of a sudden this huge buck came sprinting out of the bushes and ran right by me. When the buck ran by me it must have only been like 15-20 feet away. Then it just took a huge jump from the edge of the shore into the lake and started swimming around. It all happened so quick and scared the shit out of me that luckily I was still thinking straight and ran to my backpack to grab my point & shoot camera to snap some photos before it swam off. After it was all over I was shaking for probably 10 minutes or so since my adrenaline was going. I thought for sure it was a bear and then it turned out to be a buck that almost ran me over. I’ve never seen anything like that in my life and probably will never again. Here are some of the photos that I snapped off.

Great title, Doug ... and what an experience. You must just be lucky to be able to have the opportunity to even TAKE these kinds of pictures. I can see why you love it up there, though. Never a dull moment.
Love you,
Ann
good reason to alway have a camera around!
Reminds me of watching some cows cross a river in New Zealand. I had always thought cows were afraid of water (I even jumped into a raging river once to get away from a bull that was chasing me).
Awesome shots Doug! What a special place to live and work!
