Evening everyone,
So I was out at my inlaws last night and there were 2 white tail does in the back yard. One lady there looked at me and said that one of those does was tame enough I could pet it. I said bullshit and strapped on my shoes. Well.... Sure enough the deer let me come right up to it. One of the does went running but the other just stayed right there. I walked right up and was rubbing her all down and she wasn't scared at all. Didn't have a cam or I would have got pics. Anyone else had this happen?

we had a deer that would come and kick the door. He wanted to be fed. On Chrismas someone tyed red bows on his antlers. We called him george. When he knocked on the door I would go outside and shake the crab apple tree then all the deer would run over to eat. He loved to have his head scratched.

there used to be one like that just west of town .... My Dads friends Daughter found it as a 2 day old with a busted leg on the river bank on their property ...nursed it back to health etc... eventully she brought her fawns up to the house ... evidently that went on for years ...

Eventully my Dads friend sold their property and I lost touch with the rest of the story ...This would have been just about 20 years ago

A family friend found an orphaned fawn and brought her home with him. She slept on his couch until she got too big for the house. She was house trained like a dog. When she go to big for the house, she was put in the barn with the cows. She had her fawns in the barn and they were raised the same way as she was. Then he bought an island (yes an island) just across from Saltry Bay Ferry Terminal and he moved there so the deer ended up being given to a game farm because our freinds were American and could not transport deer over the border to the island :(. I know my mom has photos of "Squeeky" the deer on his couch. Funny too because our freind was an avid hunter and had every type of firearm you could think of and his game room was amazing yet here he raised these deer as pets as well as he had a bear cub for a while too until the neighbours complained and he gave to a zoo.

Cougars are pretty hard to get rid of once you call them in...
