They are not domesticated IMO, they just tolerate humans. The question is could a deer escape from a farm survie in the wild? I think instinct would take over and they could. If Predator populations are high than I do not think they could. The learning curve is way to long for them.
Agreed that they could survive but instinct would maybe keep them from animal predators but they have learned not to fear humans. During hunting season you may be stalking one and all of a sudden it sees you and walks towards you expecting food. Since it would be full frontal I guess we couldn't shoot it then but when it gets tous andwe have no food and it turns to walk away....... LOL make surewe use the 50yd pin LOL.
