In Lassen Volcanic NP, I have passed a buck less then 10' away from me along the trail and in camp the next morning a couple does kept circling my camp. The fawns kept there distance and were shy/skittish. Also in CA, while on my last trip to the Marble Mountains, when Pooch was still alive, we had a buck come within 20' or so of us. Pooch was paying special attention.:) Also on the Marble Mts. trip, I noticed one day that a doe was pawing where I had buried my spent toothpaste.
