    Was down in Roundwood, Co. Wicklow last few days. Went for a walk this morning and walked right up on a calf lying in the snow. Walked within 5 yds of it before it got up, very this and bony and walked off bout 30 yds and stood looking at me !!:(

    This is the kind of sight that worries me.

    I've seen that look before - this deer has almost given up the ghost.

    He's on the north face, but he seems to be windward, not leeward.

    Glad the shot was only taken by camera. I wonder how many would have taken that shot.

    To the OP, personally, I would be dropping a bit of feed in the area.

    No fear of me taking any shot apart from with a camera :)

    Landowner who is a good friend and a very good deer friend even thought he is in the Christmas tree business was out with me with bales of hay before I left.

    Says the nighttime hunters have been rife round him lately. I have permission off him for all his forestry but he's very fair on the deer as to when I can and cannot shoot them !! conservationist to heart :D

    Perhaps more likely. fairplay tfox, lovely photo too, just a pity about the circumstances, nice to know lads with commercial interests still find room for nature.
