A very common sight in the Shenandoah National Park. Rooney kept a lot of animals at a distance from us (we only saw one bear each during the whole 4 months - and only when Rooney was with the other person), but the deer in the Shennys were bold.
One time, I (Jill) was walking alone and was in the zone so I didn't see a deer up ahead, just off the trail. He waited quietly until I was very close and then snorted really loudly, less than a foot from my ear. I screamed and he bolted. Ah, life on the AT ;-)
