    If these pics have already been posted, I apologize. I received them in an email this evening. I’m guessing it was a pretty memorable fishing trip for these guys.

    SOME OF THE REASONS IDAHO IS AWESOME

    Don’t you just love nature? Not something you see too often out here.

    Scott Nelson and his Sons were fishing Saturday when this small Whitetail fawn approached them on the South fork of the Snake River. It must have spent the summer bumming from campers or maybe one the home owners in the lower canyon was feeding it so it lost its fear of humans. This is without question the Catch of the year.

    Those are awesome pics; but I’m afraid that you will now have to change your name from Snake Plissken to Walt Disney.

    very odd that a wild one would do that…

    Reminds me of when i was young, my Grandparents had a game farm in MT that raised and bread Mule Deer. We would bottle feed the little ones and take feed out to the others in the 100 acre pen. They had quite a few huge bucks, many of the older deer wuold come up to you to get a good scratching but come rut, they wanted to kill you. -Mark

    Awesome pictures! We had a similar incident to this one 2 years ago in the little town on Denham, near willow river. On our annual fourwheeling trip in october, we stopped in at the bar later one of the nights and the bartender went on to tell us how the doe was hit and killed by a truck just down the road. The owners of the bar left a dog dish out every nite with leftovers in the bowl and overtime the fawn became very comfortable around people. The owners said it only took a couple weeks and the fawn never left their property, so just about every night, including the night we were there, that fawn was in the bar, literaly sitting next to people begging for food like a dog. It was pretty cool!

    very interesting to say the least. Any idea what river they are fishing? I’m heading out there this summer to fly fish in the Stanley area.

    Reminds me of up at the Angle Inlet, on LOTW. Summer time, the deer are like cockroaches around the cabins.
    If you would not make eye contact, squat down, hold out a piece of bread, they would slooooowly come up to you, stretch their neck out like a giraff, and grab the bread out of your hand and trot off a few feet to eat it! Crazy fun!

    The story says it is the South Fork of the Snake River.
