Baby Deer
Personal memory by Austin Rutherford
2017 • Ray, OH 45672, USA
I was a Boy Scout a few years back, and we took a yearly trip to summer camp at Chief Logan Reservation. One year while there I found where they were clearing space for a new campground. I decided to go back and explore and found a whole family of deer. I stood there shocked, the mama and papa just sorta stared at me. Then the baby walked over, and rubbed up on me. I pet it, and it even gave me a little deer kiss. Then they all wandered off. It was a pretty beautiful moment I still remember vividly.
