   In '05 when I was videotaping Patch, Zip and a few others in Northern Oregon for "Still Walking" they told me that while they were at Kangaroo Spring (just north of Seiad Valley) they awoke to a deer licking one of their sleeping bags in the middle of the night. They tried to shoo it away. Nada. Starting tossing pebbles. Zip. One of them said one guy threw a pretty big rock and hit the deer. Yawn. When they awoke in the morning one of Patch's poles was missing. He found it quite a bits away covered in what he assumed was loads o' deer saliva.     About a week later I'm interviewing a guy at Ollalie Lake (I had been heading south from Cascade Locks). He tells me about a strange deer encounter at Kangaroo Spring. When he awoke in the morning both poles were missing. He only found one. Hence the birth of his trail name..."Buck Larceny".
