I agree, I would not be able to shoot him either. A friend of mine in the U.P. had an 8 coming in and eating out of his hand. The Greeks from Chicago on the adjacent property, shot him with a bow. It died in the ditch in front of his house. It was sad, they never even looked for him come to find out.

Wow can't believe that, neat video. The neighbor had a pet fawn when i was a kid, she grew up as the neighborhood pet, she eventually spent more time with deer. Anyway my uncle shot her on a deer drive that i was involved in, we were all pretty broke up when we noticed the faded almost invisible red cloth collar on her neck as she laid there dead

A landowner whose land I used to hunt had a pet buck named Jasper. Sometimes the deer would come inside and sleep with the dog, but spent most of it's time with the wild deer. He used to attach pink ribbons to the antlers to keep hunters from shooting him. It apparently worked, but I know of at least one hunter that was pretty aggravated about it

Huh? That deer was far from "aimless" and as to being "underweight", not really. Not really at all. Looked to be early bow season and it wasn't getting fattened up yet. Once they hit the mast crops they start putting on the fat from the acorns and other nuts. I personally think that deer had had past relations with humans and it's curiosity was taking over. That jump it made when the guy first went to stand up shows me it was FAR from "aimless". It wasn't on high alert but it was ready to bolt if the need rose.
