This story reminds me of the time my son,Tony was flying his kite past our apple orchard..As he was running past the orchard,a deer ran out and along side Tony...Tony was very surprised to say the least! The deer ran along side of Tony over two fields..No camera at hand,sad to say.. Jackie

This is true.........(no person or animal was harmed)

Deer Chases Cross-Country Runner
W ild life Encounter at Bend - Meet Gets Out of Hand

Bend, Ore. - An overly-friendly deer got a little too close for comfort at a recent middle school race,
where the animal licked one of the runners, then chased him for seven minutes while incredulous onlookers gaped.

The wild deer seen chasing the middle school boy.
When it first wandered onto the race site and showed no fear of

people, seventh-grader Kevin Cox petted the deer.
Apparently for the deer, a bond was formed -- an extremely strong bond. When Cox tried

to leave the animal, the deer would have nothing of it.The following photographs show

the deer pursuing Cox and later standing on its hind legs with its mouth on the back of the boy's head.

Pets a deer that wandered into the area where a cross-country meet

was being held! The deer let others pet it as well,but seemed to take a special

liking to Cox.

Cox said that he tried to walk away when the deer started licking him, but the deer gave chase.

Cox said the deer chased him for about seven minutes.
Cox said the chase turned from funny to scary after a few minutes.
Cox said that the chase gave him a good warmup.


The deer closes in on Cox.
The deer caught Cox and started to lick him again. Cox said that his coaches said the deer was attracted to the salt in his sweat.
Despite the unwanted attention and unexpected warmup, Cox was

unhurt and ran his race as scheduled.


Coaches had to intervene to get the deer to leave Cox alone.
