This guy was a funny character. I arrived to the top of Tonodake after a casual six hour hike up the east side of the mountain, then descended down the west side about 100 meters, where I setup camp from a perch. The camp site looked over the facing valley and would have a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji once the clouds cleared.
It was still 3:30 in the afternoon and I was ready for some fresh water and something to eat, so I packed everything but the sleeping bag and tent and descended on a spring that was about a 5 minute hike down. The spring water was cold and flowing heavily since we had a lot of rain lately. I ate pasta and carbonara sauce, washed up and massaged my worn feet, then returned to the base camp.
Just before I arrived at the base camp on ascent, this deer and several others were casually munching away at something on the ground. If I moved suddenly the younger ones jumped, but the large males would just look and keep on chewing - with kind of a drunk or stoned look of ecstasy on their face.
