      Way of life. Prey have to always keep a look out for predators. kinda like hide in seek but if you get tagged then you die. Wolves need to eat to tho so cant really blame them. Wolf population has been steady tho. Never been large but over the last few years it hasnt been dropping much(American Wolves). Human also haev a side like this, as in if you hear a loud noise you will abviously look at it. And when its dark and you hear something you would run or look around. That how they are mentally which keeps the animals alive.

So many were killed from the speeder drivers. Gotten so busy where we lived in the last twenty years. I luv deer, they used to cone and fed on my rise bushes and apples but nothing this year.

      W Jack Sorry to burst the bubble, but deer corn is actually pretty bad for deer. Corn in general isn’t good for them, and it can possibly lead to medical issues. I recommend just trying to give them greens, like lettuces, but I’m not an expert so you should probably research what vegetables are good for them. :)

    I have deer that hang out on my property regularly, but never close enough to touch. I don't feed them or anything. They just like hanging out here. They know I'm not going to be a threat to them, and are pretty chill, as long as there's 20~30 yards distance between us. There was a neighbor who used to feed them, before he passed away. The deer would know it was feeding time, because they recognized the sound of his truck coming up the drive when he was coming home.

    I'm surprised that you didn't get negative feed back with this, but I can relate. I too have a local population of deer and for the most part, it's the does that are the calmest around me, but I have not had physical contact. If you have deer, then you probably feed them and if you do, you know about fleas! I put about a 1/2 cup of food grade diatamatious earth in about a gallon of food once a month and that really helps with their flea problem. It really has a dramatic affect and you can tell in a couple of days that they aren't flicking and scratching like before. It's safe and given to horses for the same reason. I also collect apples for free from a local fruit farm (on the ground apples) and they enjoy them.

    Great video! I used to live in deer country and sometimes I would come face to face with them on my walks when coming around a bend in the road. When that happened, I found it was always best to avert my eyes away from theirs and show no interest in them. In fact, the last time I did that I walked right passed the deer and then turned around about 25 yards away and saw that the deer had stopped in his tracks and was looking back and watching me walk away. It was almost like the deer was saying to himself, "what the fuk is up with that guy?"

    Thank you so much for your video! and thank you for the information about your local deers and the fact they are not hunted where they wander. I was always concerned, when I was watching your videos, if it was not dangerous for them to get accustomed to humans in your garden and then risking to be too familiar with possible hunters. Thanks a million for the explanation!
    Today, I read that here in France, a hunter got into a private property to shoot a deer who was seeking refuge.
    www.parismatch.com/Actu/Societe/Oise-un-chasseur-fusille-un-cerf-qui-s-etait-refugie-dans-un-jardin-prive-1376912
    Apparently, he went down a garage alley, and they couldn’t succeed in forcing him out. So the article says that the deer was injured, and as he was getting mad, he had become a risk for humans and so, they had to shoot him down. The owner of the property had given the permission. This was so revolting to me and so stupid that I really spent a bad day. How can some humans become so inhuman?
    And now, I read that a French woman was killed in her garden from a hunter's shot through the hedges...

They called the firebrigade for that. I didn't know that cause when they came he was under my arm. BTW We should not teach children that a black Swan is ugly, cause that's what the told me. But they quickly forgot that when they felt the supersmooth feathers on their neck. Greetings from Germany

    I have deer daily in my yard too. (Columbian Black-tails, like these?) I think I could get some of them this tame too (they are a lot less skittish than the squirrels, who all eat from my hands) but I have thought it wouldn't be safe for them to lose their caution toward humans. But maybe it's okay? The coyotes try to stalk my deer and I think the deer think coyotes are more likely to stay away with humans close by.
