North Country explorer from
As we walked the footbridge over to Falls Island, we noticed a deer at the waters edge eating berries.
We watched it for a while and took a quick walk over to see the falls and on the way back the deer was on the trail, still eating, as we stopped for a moment to look at it, while it looked back and realized we were not scary.
As we started to approach the deer started to follow, probably 20 feet behind us. It made it about 1/3 of the way across the bridge before turning back.
Unfortunately, this probably means people have been feeding it and it's started to identify people with food.
But all in all, it was a nice encounter.
