Sorry , this is not a r 4 r sub . <| sep |> Wish I ' d gotten here earlier . Solo backpacking trip in north Georgia . Rolled into camp at around 7 at night . Still a decent amount of light . Noticed a herd of deer in camp scared them off thought nothing of it . Made dinner , got stoned and made my usual pot of tea and started winding down for bed . I hear some commotion in the woods . Sounds like an animal moving around . So I get up with my flashlight and start looking around . Walk about 100 ft from the tent and hear it again out in the woods . I pick up a stick and go to throw it in the general direction of the noise , thinking it is a deer and it ' ll get up and run . As soon as the stick left my hand the deer ran . Only it wasn ' t the deer in the woods it was the deer that was bedded down 2 feet away from where I was standing . I ' ve never been so startled in my life . Took me about 2 hours to calm down and fall asleep after that .
