It's my guess that deer was raised by people and eventually they let it go.  I have a friend in MN who found a deer on the side of the road less than one day old. He raised it and would take it for walks on a harness.  When it got big enough to release at 4-5 months old, it would still come back every day and would let my friend hand-feed it.  He did gate it up during Deer season last fall, and released it for good after Deer Season.

He named the deer buckshot and would send me pictures of it from time to time.  Below is a picture from Halloween with Buckshot dressed as a Deer Hunter.

I have videos of my kids playing with it and feeding it when it was a couple of months old.

That's pretty cool. Congrats on the birds too, sounds like an awesome day in the woods altogether. Do you have video of the actual hunt you are gonna upload?

we did get actual video of the hunt but thats on my buddies camera and he hasnt got it uploaded yet.  all the video posted in my original post came off of my droid, so getting it to youtube was easy.

Congrats on your two toms, and that button buck surely had to have been tamed.  It was a great video.  Thanks for sharing it.

That was not a real deer, that was the latest robo deer the conservation officers will be using come deer season.  They just wanted to test it out on a couple turkey hunters first to see if they would fall for it.  ;D  Cool video and experience.
