Creator Transcript
  • Victoria B.C. [British Columbia] July 29, 1939. At 3 pm. doe in park feeding along with buck, fawn hidden. Doe much bothered by flies, fed nervously with hair erect all over her body, continuously stamped her hind legs, often stood on 3 legs + jerked the other convulsively, Flicked her tail + ears continuously. Went down on fore knees + grazed for 30 sec. [seconds], moved a few yards + lay down with her legs completely under her + grazed within reach. Buck appeared to take less notice of the flies. Quarantine Lake. A doe in full summer pelage had just begun to feed at 7:30 PM. Another feeding in open at 8 PM had a bit of old hair on the flanks still. Paid no attention to several sheep. Doe saw me, stared hard with ears turned in my direction. Ran 50 yds [yards] + stopped, I stalked to within 10 yards of her by approaching behind trees. She fed unconcernedly until I again stepped into view. When she ran 10-15 yards + again stopped. Proportions of sexes. 1 doe fawn at game farm.
