Landlord, can I keep him?

Yes Erica wanted this pet deer, but the guys with the motorcycle wanted to keep it too.  It'll make some real good venison in a few years (and deer like this are rare in Mongolia).  They said it was about to die when they found it.

The miker ride up to Huvs-Gul lake a couple of days earlier was pretty rough (4 hours, super-bumpy road, Erica carsick, Josh only halfway sitting on the seat.  But, the trip during which this video was taken was just a short jog from Xatgal to Janxai, where the scenic pictures at the forest and the lake were taken.  Stay tuned for a later post that will talk about the delicious food that we've eaten so far (but no venison).
