Camouflage

It took several minutes of watching this Roe Deer to notice their well camouflaged friend, recumbent in the dry grasses and last seasons fern. How trusting the forest deer have become; over the the last few years, the frequency of close encounters has rocketed. Well hidden they may be, but increasingly vulnerable too I feel. If I carried the means (bow, crossbow or such like), and had the desire, I think it would be relatively easy to make a kill. A man with a dog, paying close attention to them, no more than 30 feet away, 5 minutes and they didn't bolt; in fact we walked and they remained in situ.
