Meditation habit: dealing with deer

2 posts in this topic

I have been improving my meditation habit, by meditating near a creek and a hiking trail.  I was beginning to meditate more deeply, but I was interrupted by some deer.

Deer can be dangerous because they run up to 40 mph, can break human bones by stomping with all of their weight, and bucks can tear skin with their antlers.  Bucks are aggressive near mating season, and does are aggressive if they perceive a threat to a fawn.  If I wish to continue meditating near that creek, then I need some survival strategies.

I discovered that deer have a routine.  I never found any after 2 o'clock.  This time I was there earlier at 9 o'clock.  Maybe this is the reason I encountered them.  The doe was making loud calls and was clearly alert and disturbed by my presence.

How else could deer be dealt with?  Is it not worth meditating on nature?  How can I make sure not to get attacked?
