The vast majority of the phone calls Oregon officials took were from all over the political spectrum: bleeding-heart Bambi lovers and government-out-of-my-business types alike, united in their call for the return of Filipetti's deer.

I'm with the second camp. It may not generally be a good idea to raise wild animals as pets, but there are exceptions to every rule. Government laws are not good at dealing with exceptions, but that shouldn't be the pet owner's problem. Return the deer.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has a web page and a contact form. Please go there and tell them what you think (politely). Also e-mail the governor, he has heard from several people on another thread concerning this.
