well, i for one will be adding a bottle of goats milk below my stand. lol

i see just another feel good do godder trying to help. in most states it's illegal to do that, and in all states it's immoral. she's taken the wild out of the deer and perhaps it's future siblings. to me it's a death sentence for the deer.

Yep, as cute as it is, I agree Steve

Wonder if the State she lives in requires a permit for a "Pet Deer"..like others have already said the only thing wild about that deer is it's history because there is none of that in her future!

I wonder if this was the person who wrote the article sent to a newspaper saying that all the hunters should go to the grocery store and get their meat where no animals have been harmed...some people are truely clueless.

I raised many deer as a kid. I grew up on a farm and when we combined soybeans the does would run out the field leaving the fawns. Some years the fawns couldn't run yet, other years they could. The tractor operators for our farm would get out and check for fawns when they jumped a doe. I there was a fawn unable to run, they'd bring it back to the house. We tried just putting the fawns on the edge of the woods but the does neglected them and they became coyote food. The deer we raised would come and go once grown. They were just as docile as a pet dog. I remember trying to ride one when I was about 5 and I was thrown off into a holly bush. They would act like a pet around the house but they also were seen hanging out with other deer. We would see them with other deer while hunting (we had a pact to never shoot a deer around them). The does usually had twins and we would see them quite often. They would come into the yard but that was it, they wouldn't walk up to us despite their mother doing it. Eventually as the offspring got older, they would stay away, but the does we raised would always come back. Had one doe for 6-7 years before she disappeared, possibly dying of age or predators. All in all we probably raised between 10-15 deer successfully. By successful, i mean we would see them for 2 or more years and also see them interacting with other deer and they didn't rely on us for food outside of the first 1/2 year of age.
