    Hmm, 50m with mobile phone. So a dot in the image.

    Suspect a lot closer than stated. Saw this a lot in Yellowstone with the elk.

    Were lots of Chinese tourists and selfies with everything was par for course. One woman got within 4 or 5m of a stag trying to get the perfect selfie. Fortunately a park ranger was on hand to tell her off.

      Well better than the student on the coast who gave her phone to a stranger to take a picture of herself as she jumped up in the air and sadly straight off the white cliffs 200ft to her death.

            At least he had the means to call for help and proof he hadn't pushed her.

                Was that before or after he thought he’d see how many ‘likes’ and ‘shares’ the video got :).

                  I remember the stag attack very well. This was around 2010 when I was in Tatton park, cheshire, taking some pictures of the deer. I saw a Stag nearby and approached it and started taking some pictures, when it charged towards me. Fortunately I had parked my car nearby and managed to get into the driver's seat when the stag crashed into the side of the car and damaged the drivers side door. I couldn't open it from the inside. the damage to my car cost a good few hundred pounds paid by my insurers but I lost some points on my no claim bonus. I remember posting some pictures of this attack.

                    I'm with you on this.................The Deer need full respect at this time of the year.

                    Also just make sure you can run faster than the person next to you !

                        Talking to the rangers at tatton park today ,apparently last weekend was the worst they can remember for selfies with the deer ,despite massive signs up about the rut .and incredibly he told us about one dad who put his toddler on the back of a stag .the mind boggles ,apart from the danger don’t they know about ticks
