More On Deer…
The Peaks of Otter on the Blue Ridge Parkway at Milepost 86 in Virginia is probably the most known area for viewing deer. They have almost become regarded as a nuisance and for years visitors would be inclined to hand feed them which is strictly against park regulations. To alter this behavior, the park service began an extensive poster campaign titled “Dead Doe” which convinced the observer that a fed deer was a dead deer. Deer are not domestic animals (except in the rarest of circumstances) and should be always be regarded as wild and unpredicable.
Approaching wildlife is dangerous … and not a smart move.
Remember to view wildlife at a distance. Not the way this guy did! Close up nature films are best seen on the National Geographic Channel.
