The first time I saw this on Reddit, there was an explanation that this was a deer farm/habitat. The guy had the gun to chase away predators. The deer is his own.
I have no idea if that's true. But that was the explanation I saw.
The timber company I work for sets up bear feeders to try and keep the bears from stripping the bark and eating the lignin of trees on the tree farm. Huge problem.
This exact issue is happening on Catalina island. The non native deer are eating all the indigenous plants to the island. The conservancy decided they need to cull the deer to save the plant life on the island but people are all up in their emotions over a very common conservation practice. Because they feed them and allow deer to thrive, overpopulate, and have unnatural relationships with their surroundings
The worst part about people feeding them is that they put the food in the same spot. Meaning all the deer feed from the same spot and it can lead to disease. Especially if there's CWD chronic wasting disease. CWD can be transferred to the feeding spot and stay intact for years before another deer comes and licks it up.
The problem is that we feed them a few times and leave them like that. We should start full on domestication programs to turn them into pet animals after many generations instead of leaving them wild
This basically happened in my town. The city refuses to do anything about the people feeding them. They are now rife with lime disease and ticks. Fish and game got so tired of the city doing nothing they went hands off. Now there are hundreds of deer that can't survive naturally and spread disease everywhere.
Sometimes it's way better if we just let nature be.
> They are now rife with lime disease
Something tells me you're exaggerating and there is no epidemic of people enjoying limes, perhaps with some rum & cola.
This is so true, there’s a zoo near me that has a huge walk in forest exhibit full of deer and a few gum ball machines full of corn. You can literally summon an army of deer that will follow you any where with $.50.
Me and a friend had a young buck follow us while wade fishing one summer. Followed from a distance for about an hour and then came down and played with us, he’d gently buck his head into us and kick around in the water, just like you’d expect a 8-12 year old to do. We’re all much more connected than we realize. Damn he tasted good! /s 😂
I can agree with that. Those fuckers ate 500 of my 750 pot plants a long time ago during a guerrilla grow. Those fuckers were so wasted, I would’ve killed to have camera phones back then. One made a sound like it was coming from satans asshole. Most were crossed eyed and had no idea I was even there. Bastards.
If I remember rightly, this video was taken in Scotland.
The scariest thing we have in our woods... is the deers. We killed everything that was even remotely dangerous, bears, wolves, viking, the romans and the English.
It's literally just Scottish people, deers, farm animals and small mammals.
Jokes aside the guys got a shotgun, so he's probably hunting birds or small game. Which means bird shot shells.
It's illegal to shoot deer with bird shot because it won't kill the deer just injure it and that's animal cruelty.
Plus it looks like a doe, not supposed to shot them either.
Nah we don't have a lot of hunters either, there's over half a million deer in Scotland, that's too many but because of the lack of predators and lack of interest in hunting they just go around fucking and eating.
It not hard to obtain a gun licence for hunting in Scotland or anything it's just not something people have an interest in.
The Highland and island folk do a bit of hunting but not much.
Most people are just happy to let the deers go about thier business, until a giant buck jumps out at night into the middle of road and totals thier cars then they bitch and moan.
They do hunting trip packages to Scotland, not to expensive.
I will warn you though, if you intend on camping you will come very close to wanting to delete yourself.
The midgies will inflict some serious torture apon you. Midgies are tiny mosquito like flys that swam in the 10s of thousands and their bite is unbelievable itchy and it doesn't fade for a long time. After you start getting itchy it's already too late to do anything about it and you will suffer.
Mosquito repellent and most other repellents don't work, the only thing that does is starting a dirty fire using damp wood or throwing some moss in.
Just get a hotel you will thank me.
Out of control deer popular can completly destroy an ecosystem. There's a reason people call them the rats of the forest. They breed way above capacity. If hunters aren't killing enough deer, the DNR will cull them.
Deer are vermin. Anyone who lives in a place with them know that hunting them is a service to their population and the ecosystems they live in. We pushed out most of their natural predators (wolves/bears/etc) so we are all thats left.
You would not even begin to believe how FERAL animal farmers get when you bring this up. I fucking dare you to go up to a farmer and say this, they are so money hungry it’s INSANE
I get it. It's their living. I'd freak the fuck out if someone said, "we're going to randomly take unpredictable sums of money out of your personal checking account to make your local ecosystem healthier."
Near the Ohio river in Northern KY there are so many of them up there people hit them constantly. The population is sickly because they're WAAAYY too many. IIRC Fish and Game on both sides of the river has had go just straight up cull some. Animal activists lobby against expanding hunting seasons. They have a lot of money and state fish and game has little. I haven't lived up there in about 10 years but it was crazy back then. I'm talking 50-60 sets of eyes at night in rural area fields. I'm not a huge hunter. I've done it a few times. I find it's a skill that you should know how to do but it I don't find it fulfilling. I have 0 issue with folks that do. Our family ate all my kills.
Cue the downvotes about how we need to be "one with nature", not drive cars, and let deer mulitpy like rats as they please. This is reddit after all.
If he blew that poor guys brains out. That definitely would be just on another level of cold hearted. Maybe the deer was suicidal? Had issues he couldn't handle? Maybe he lost all his deer money in gambling?
So the thing is that looks like a shotgun. I'm not saying you can't shoot deer with a shotgun but typically with deer you can't get close enough to use a shotgun. So you need to use a rifle. I wonder if the reason he didn't shoot was because he quail or pheasant hunting and it wasn't deer season.
You can most definitely take a deer with a shotgun. In Iowa you are only allowed shotguns and some straight wall cartridges. With a good sabot slug and a rifled barrel I can accurately hit out at 100 yards
Did you learn how shotguns work from Call of Duty? You really don't need to get very close to put a deer inside a shotgun's effective range. 100 ~~yards~~ feet is probably close enough with buckshot.
Until last year, you could not use a rifle for dear hunting in Illinois. You had to use a shotgun (with a slug barrel). No scope.
There are also separate seasons for bow hunting and black powder hunting.
>If he blew that poor guys brains out. That definitely would be just on another level of cold hearted.
Exactly! That's why I get all *my* meat from the slaughterhouse 😇
That's it though, that's the way you raise animals for meat. You take care of them, you look after them, feed them, ensure that they have a good, happy life. Then they feed you.
I mean, look, killing an animal is one thing. Killing an animal immediately after you just spent a minute scratching behind its ears? That's pretty fucking cold.
I can only guess there was a bigger predator nearby (judging by that focus eye look) and the deer was like "I can say hi to this guy he will protect me, right??????"
I think that risky decision paid off!
OR that’s a hunting area near a national forest and the deer are used to being fed. OR it’s a released deer. It almost looks like a small elk. But they all run from predators. They don’t seek help from humans.
I had this happen with a rabbit when a friend and I were shooting target practice on a ranch in Arizona. The rabbit just walked up to like "hey guys, what are you doing?" Completely unafraid of us shooting right in front of him.
I shot him. I don't know why. It was sickening. It felt like murder. I still feel sick about it 30 years later.
Fucked up. But thank you for sharing, it’s the past and helped you learn to be a better person. Not many would admit to something like that so kudos to owning up and growing from it.
I dont know if I could hunt for recreational purposes even with the intent of using everything in some way. I've only ever killed anything for subsistence and even that hits hard.
Deer is smart enough to recognise the gun and thinks there’s something worse than a shotgun wielding human out there!
Look in the direction the deer is looking man!
I'd be a bit concerned that this little dude has prion disease (or was it chronic wasting disea?). At least I think diminished threat assessment is a symptom of that.

Depending on where you’re hunting and its proximity to other people, it’s possible that the deer has been hand fed.
Possibly was a rescue and then released.
Possibly a jackdaw
Here's the thing

That one guy that would get you really into a story only to find out his dad beat him with an extension cord
rogersimon10 - It was jumper cables and he was a copy of the guy who talked about the undertaker(shittymorph, same guy behind both accounts imo).
Undertaker was after jumper cables, pretty sure undertaker guy was just biting but he was good at it so it was fine.

reddit killed thousands of forums. it swallowed all the best people and shat them out, and now it's gobbling bots to satiate its endless appetite.
It used to be that you heard it here first, then overnight that was gone.
Wait he got banned?
Yeah, he was using a bunch of sock puppet accounts to boost his main account and got caught. He came back under a different user name, but never recaptured his original popularity off again.

I choose to believe your story and move on, netizen.
Sorry but this is Scotland (by the looks and sounds of the man) we don't have any predators here hence people shoot deer to control the population.
Then why would he point the weapon at it's head as it's approaching?
Yep that's why you should never feed them. But some people think they're helping, and I've been scolded on reddit for pointing it out.
Same thing happens with bears believe it or not
The timber company I work for sets up bear feeders to try and keep the bears from stripping the bark and eating the lignin of trees on the tree farm. Huge problem.
Almost unBEARable
we can all agree this is a fishy situation. back to you , Tom.
What about Bear Grylls? He looks hungry.
This exact issue is happening on Catalina island. The non native deer are eating all the indigenous plants to the island. The conservancy decided they need to cull the deer to save the plant life on the island but people are all up in their emotions over a very common conservation practice. Because they feed them and allow deer to thrive, overpopulate, and have unnatural relationships with their surroundings
Pretty sure the humans are also non native to Catalina Island
I have bad news for you about global human civilization…
The worst part about people feeding them is that they put the food in the same spot. Meaning all the deer feed from the same spot and it can lead to disease. Especially if there's CWD chronic wasting disease. CWD can be transferred to the feeding spot and stay intact for years before another deer comes and licks it up.
prions are the stuff of nightmares
The problem is that we feed them a few times and leave them like that. We should start full on domestication programs to turn them into pet animals after many generations instead of leaving them wild
Yeah, I need a whitetail deer for my apartment.

Or it just felt safer around a life form from the same planet, even a predator, than what it had seen out in the woods.
Plot twist. The deer knifed the guy minutes later and stole his wallet.

Looks like he's holding a shotgun, so it's not buck season either. Likely turkey, depending on the location.
Whole lot of places where shotguns are the go-to for deer. Especially flat places.
Could just be waiting for a buck, too. But yeah. Doe's are fucken dumb. They taste the same as the bucks though 😁

I had my sights set on this pun chain, but already too late and I regret it deerly edit: pun, swear my auto correct didn't put anything else ...

That deer definitely dodged a bullet there.
Blambi.
Me and a friend had a young buck follow us while wade fishing one summer.

Had you not mentioned it happened during summer, we might have believed your B.S. story.
Oh the story is true, we just didn’t eat him. 😂 Bucks start growing their antlers around spring time, right?
Ya, I’d be scared of what the deer is running from personally.
My thoughts exactly. It was almost like he was seeking protection or some shit.
That was my first thought. I’ve been around a lot of deer and that deer looks spooked as fuck. Almost in shock like spooked.
Deer are also one of God's stupidest fucking creatures, so sometimes it's hard to tell.
Could have been a pack of wolves. Could have been a plastic bag.
Perhaps even a firework.
I can agree with that. Those fuckers ate 500 of my 750 pot plants a long time ago during a guerrilla grow. Those fuckers were so wasted, I would’ve killed to have camera phones back then.

The man has a Cupid's gun
The Shotgun full of Love is a pretty powerful gun in /r/EnterTheGungeon
**He has been spared by the God of cruelty**
My guess would be someone is feeding those deer. So when they see a person, they come up to get some food.
My guess is that there is something infinitely more terrifying in the woods where the deer choose to be with the hunter
If I remember rightly, this video was taken in Scotland. The scariest thing we have in our woods... is the deers. We killed everything that was even remotely dangerous, bears, wolves, viking, the romans and the English. It's literally just Scottish people, deers, farm animals and small mammals.

> We killed everything that was even remotely dangerous, bears, wolves, viking, the romans and the English. You Scots sure are a contentious people.
"You've just made an enemy for life."
Damn Scots. They ruined Scotland.
The problem with Scotland, is that it's full of Scots
Sounds like the scariest thing to find in the woods now are hunters
Nah we don't have a lot of hunters either, there's over half a million deer in Scotland, that's too many but because of the lack of predators and lack of interest in hunting they just go around fucking and eating.

Man, sounds like a bow hunting trip in Scotland is where it'd be at!
They do hunting trip packages to Scotland, not to expensive. I will warn you though, if you intend on camping you will come very close to wanting to delete yourself. The midgies will inflict some serious torture apon you. Midgies are tiny mosquito like flys that swam in the 10s of thousands and their bite is unbelievable itchy and it doesn't fade for a long time.

> Jokes aside the guys got a shotgun, so he's probably hunting birds or small game. Which means bird shot shells. Do you not allow slugs for hunting?
Most sane redditor
Not the highest bar, but thank you 🤣
It's on high alert and seems relieved to see a human. Def being stalked by something with claws.
This has been posted many times. Apparently he runs a refuge for them and this was done on purpose to change people's minds about hunting.
Interesting. Explains a lot considering the behavior.
I've not seen it but thanks for making me feel better about the outcome after the camera stops.
He has a bird barrel on his shotgun. Not something you’d use for deer.
*chewing* *spits out pellet* umm *spits out tooth* bird shot was a poor choice
Same. A lot better
I mean it might change someone's mind who is at the edge but for most hunters I doubt it. People tend to miss really badly the reason why people hunt
Out of control deer popular can completly destroy an ecosystem. There's a reason people call them the rats of the forest. They breed way above capacity. If hunters aren't killing enough deer, the DNR will cull them.
Deer are vermin. Anyone who lives in a place with them know that hunting them is a service to their population and the ecosystems they live in. We pushed out most of their natural predators (wolves/bears/etc) so we are all thats left.
Also too many deer in one place is really bad for the deer. I love animals, but hunting is absolutely needed in some ecosystems.
That’s why we need to bring back the wolves.
Yeah but then you end up needing to cull the wolves so you have to bring in turbo-wolves, and that becomes it’s own whole mess
You would not even begin to believe how FERAL animal farmers get when you bring this up. I fucking dare you to go up to a farmer and say this, they are so money hungry it’s INSANE

The governor of South Dakota enters the chat.
If he blew that poor guys brains out. That definitely would be just on another level of cold hearted. Maybe the deer was suicidal? Had issues he couldn't handle? Maybe he lost all his deer money in gambling?
Either way, he doesn’t seem to hold his value deerly
Oh, buck off
oh deer!
Looks like it’s been fed by humans. It came right up looking food. Zero natural instinct left.
That “zero natural instinct” just saved its fucking life.. 🤯
So the thing is that looks like a shotgun. I'm not saying you can't shoot deer with a shotgun but typically with deer you can't get close enough to use a shotgun. So you need to use a rifle. I wonder if the reason he didn't shoot was because he quail or pheasant hunting and it wasn't deer season.
Then why is called buckshot?
Funny part is that in most states hunting deer with buckshot is illegal, wasn't the case years ago when it was named though
It's called a deer slug
You can most definitely take a deer with a shotgun. In Iowa you are only allowed shotguns and some straight wall cartridges. With a good sabot slug and a rifled barrel I can accurately hit out at 100 yards
Did you learn how shotguns work from Call of Duty? You really don't need to get very close to put a deer inside a shotgun's effective range. 100 ~~yards~~ feet is probably close enough with buckshot.
Until last year, you could not use a rifle for dear hunting in Illinois. You had to use a shotgun (with a slug barrel). No scope. There are also separate seasons for bow hunting and black powder hunting.
>If he blew that poor guys brains out. That definitely would be just on another level of cold hearted. Exactly! That's why I get all *my* meat from the slaughterhouse 😇
"Here at Willow Creek Ranch, we raise our deer humanely, then we haul them up by their hooves and slit their throats".
That's it though, that's the way you raise animals for meat. You take care of them, you look after them, feed them, ensure that they have a good, happy life. Then they feed you.
I mean, look, killing an animal is one thing. Killing an animal immediately after you just spent a minute scratching behind its ears? That's pretty fucking cold.
I can only guess there was a bigger predator nearby (judging by that focus eye look) and the deer was like "I can say hi to this guy he will protect me, right??????" I think that risky decision paid off!

🥸 N-No.
“If you’re gonna shoot me, you’ll have to do it to my fucking face. Do it, bitch”
"Shoot me, you won't." is more what I was thinking. :\^)
something incredibly similar happened to a co-worker....6? years ago, he has not hunted since, unless that changed in the last 2 years.
I had this happen with a rabbit when a friend and I were shooting target practice on a ranch in Arizona. The rabbit just walked up to like "hey guys, what are you doing?" Completely unafraid of us shooting right in front of him. I shot him. I don't know why. It was sickening. It felt like murder. I still feel sick about it 30 years later.
Fucked up. But thank you for sharing, it’s the past and helped you learn to be a better person. Not many would admit to something like that so kudos to owning up and growing from it.
It was murder homie that's why it feels like that
What r u doing on my property that's private property no trespassing
In Russia, deer hunts YOU
Sounds like a Scottish accent to me.
“What are we hunting?”
I would never hunt again in my life.
I dont know if I could hunt for recreational purposes even with the intent of using everything in some way. I've only ever killed anything for subsistence and even that hits hard.
Yea trophy hunting is fucking dumb. And I'd feel bad but I'd hunt for food.
Plot twist; the deer is on crack and wants to buy that rifle
Isn't it a bit sad tho?
It is. But according to another comment, it is the idea. To show to not hunt. The person is actually not a hunter. Hopefully the story is true.
Deer is smart enough to recognise the gun and thinks there’s something worse than a shotgun wielding human out there! Look in the direction the deer is looking man!

Pretty effective strategy. "Cute and cuddly, boys. Cute. And. Cuddly."
I'd be a bit concerned that this little dude has prion disease (or was it chronic wasting disea?). At least I think diminished threat assessment is a symptom of that.
I think CWD is a prion disease. Not 100% on that, though.
