Pick o' the Day: My Incredible Encounter With Colorado Wildlife!
On my final day in Colorado last month, I had an absolutely unbelievable encounter with a magnificent buck (a male deer for you city-folk) in my sister Vonda's backyard, and luckily I had my video camera with me to film it. It was such a weird and unexpected brush with nature that I'm convinced no one would believe me if I hadn't gotten this incredible footage. And as I think about it now, I realize it was one of those "once in a lifetime" interactions with wildlife that one could only dream of having, and I'm still shaking my head in disbelief that it actually happened. But it did! Enjoy!

I can't believe how brave you were. I heard that getting that close to wildlife can be very dangerous. Wild deer look very tame, but can be killers. You're lucky that you didn't get gored.
Well, I do feel I have some experience doing this because I have watched a lot of shows on Animal Planet, like, you know, Crocodile Hunter and shows like that. But I suppose I was a bit cocky there and probably could have been more careful. But man, what a rush!
