When are people going to learn that there is a fine line between what is a domesticated animal and a wild animal, you can't even trust some breeds of dogs never mind a deer.

A lady in FL just lost her arm by an alligator which a community had adopted and actually named , instead of catching it and donating it to a zoo or making shoes out of it, they kept a wild animal, close by civilized humans and actually thought he was no harm. They were wrong.

During rutting season, even seemingly tame bucks are extremely dangerous. Several deer ranchers in Michigan have been gored and severely injured if not died because they invaded the buck's territory during rutting season.

Some ranchers refuse to go in a cage until rutting season is over for that very reason. That's not chicken. That's smart.

And I'm referring to professional ranchers, not some John or Jane Doe that thinks it would be cool to have a pet deer.
