This morning i managed to get within 4 meters of a fox. It`s a rather special feeling being so close to a wild animal. How close have you got to a wild animal?

I've been within a metre of deer quite a few times (I even ran into one once jogging), and just a few months ago I stood at my open window watching a kestrel a couple of feet below pinning down another bird, and attacking it. I did think about chasing it away, but at the ned of the day they have to eat just like any other animal, but it was quite strange to watch.

One of these nasties chased me in Northern Queensland about 25 years ago. http://www.amazingaustralia.com.au/animals/cassowary-attacks.htm

I sometimes get pretty close to dear when I go on a walk. Something like ten feet away, and then they flee into the woods. There was also a black bear that got pretty close to me when I went camping once. That sucked.

This is a question that is right in my ball park. I live in Northwestern Pennsylvania and ride my mountain bikes on logging trails in the woods. I have literally run into bears and came within 25 feet (about 4 meters) of a huge bear, probably close to 400 pounds. I was actually kicked (gently) as a doe jumped over me. I just missed the buck and a couple other does and the straggler is the one that jumped the big Ron. I have hunters tell me that turkeys are smart and elusive but I just missed running over a nest of them riding through the bushes. I just missed a fox a few days ago. He was sitting alongside the path and didn't seem worried about me and my bike. We are now having a fight with some pretty big raccoons. They seem to think our bird feeder is for them. My wife hit one with a broom and it just ignored her. I shot it in the butt with a BB gun and it took three shots before it ran off. We have more than out share of wild animals. I saw tracks a couple years ago that looked like a mountain lion. They are supposed to be extinct from our area but I have my doubts. With my luck, I'll hit it with my bike.
