I thought you were going to tell us you were face to face with a den of lions!! The little ones are sure cute! Aren't they sweet!
I would not stand a chance, but only with the Lords help with lions.
It surely took me by surprise. This little one sure had the spots. I did not look around for the mother. I have seen the older deer plenty of times in the foot hills.
My biggest surprise while running in the mountains was scaring a female elk. This happened during hunting season. I come around this corner, and she was hidden right next to the trail by a pine tree. I heard this very large heavy sound as she brushed the tree in fear. For certain I though I had myself a bear. Fortunately she was running away from me. I would have been squished.
I have had an eagle dive at me above tree line, seen bear, mountain lion prints, fox, coyotes and other things. God has kept me safe.
