It’s also possible that this deer has become acclimated to humans. If that is the case it’s probably due to being in an area where hunting is illegal or non existent with a chance people have been feeding it.
Agreed, this Deer is not necessarily sick or diseased. Because if Deer are exposed to humans enough they kind of "acclimate" to being around them, they are less skittish and are sort of "docile." Though even then I would not trust them fully being so close to me and I ESPECIALLY would not trust male Deer around their mating season being that close to me.
I doubt it I live near a city but there is a tiny plot of forest that’s only like a mile by a mile nearby. It has trails so people are always coming through it and whenever I go there it’s always impossible to get closer than like 20 meters before they sprint off into the forest. I think it just in there blood to run away from something as big as a human.
@@A_youtube_channel_ nah, I live in a tiny town with a strong hunting population and we had a deer that you could walk up to and pet. Some people even tried putting a collar on it. DNR came and removed it from the area.
Or the opposite could be true. If this deer has never encountered a human scent before, it might be less fearful. Most animals that fear people do so because they've learned that human scent = danger

I mean, there aren't any predators on Earth more dangerous than humans. But in a local sense, a human who's not hunting for venison may be less dangerous than a wolf or puma that is.
@@richardkenan2891I think you overestimate the ability of humans. A mountain lion or a pack of wolves, even some bears, will see a slower human as easier prey than a deer. As a whole, humans are destructive and can fight back against predators, but that's not to say there aren't predators that can easily take down humans.
This happened to me once! I was camping and it was dusk. A doe shows up from nowhere and just stands 10 feet away from me for 20 minutes or so. I heard rustling in the bushes and realized she was probably seeking safety in numbers. Saw mountain lion tracks in the area of those bushes the next morning.
@@NoThisIsNotMe.When the “I don’t have to be the fastest, I just have to be faster than the slowest” card gets pulled on you. But the card holder is a deer. That’s you being in for a bad time
I know they say chronic wasting disease doesn't affect humans, but that's what they said about mad cow disease. I will never take my chances with it, or any other disease.
also on top of exposure like other comments here mentioned, it could be the deer hasn't gotten enough food and is desperate. we've seen animals in moments of desperation going towards humans, risking their lives for help like food.
When i go camping i get very close to dear all the time. A lot of them arent as scared as you think, just scared of cars because theyre so large and loud. If you find curious ones they wont run away. That being said i dont pet wild animals 😂 thats just asking for it
I live in a rural area. Most of our deer are very wary of humans. One is very friendly, will come up to you looking for food. Will allow it to be petted. It has been given a name and is healthy and has been around for a couple of years. It has obviously been fed by humans since it was a fawn. Mostly, I agree with his advice, but there are exceptions.
Also deers are sometimes fed by humans. I had a friend whom all winter, deer including babies and stags would just chill in the neighborhood, waiting for fruits and veggies the community would give them. Only winter, then they'd migrate then return next winter with more deer.
All true. I watch for these kinds of things among wild life when I'm out hiking. We need to be vigilant of potentially being attacked by a cougar or bear, but we need to keep our distance from diseased animals as well.
At my property the deer get used to smelling me and seeing me in the woods and in the fields. One or 2 follows me around when I'm walking or mowing. When I had my Great Dane deer would come nose to nose with her...smell each other's faces and then walk away. I've had lots of experiences. One thing I've noticed...I'm working In the woods and evening is close...the birds, crow, owl and other push me ..nicely out of the woods. It's amazing!!
The Sitka Black Tail deer that live on remote islands in the Tongass National Forest have largely existed without the presence of humans. They generally don't consider humans as a threat and actually will often allow humans to come very close and appear to be much more curious than afraid. Sometimes they will actually approach humans who remain still and talk to them softly. If a human remains calm and non-threatening in their presence they will not flee but will simply continue whatever they are doing without any fear.
I had a pet deer,we rescued him after his mom was hit by a car, bottle fed him and raised him along with our dogs,so he was used to people,now when we have visitors they always want to pet him and he's fine with strangers..we have a farm so there's plenty of space for him to roam around freely.its unusual to have a deer nuzzle you,be careful of wild deer tho.
Deer: "The hooman doesn't have a bangstick, camo, or orange so he's pretty safe, but the 300 lb cat waiting just past the treeline watching us doesn't understand that."
The deer looks pretty healthy and the person in the video felt comfortable enough to pet it. It's probably acclimated. I know when I went to New Jersey the damned things are everywhere and just chill under people's porches. A few were even napping with folks dogs cause people mean food and safety from bears.
This can also be a case where this deer has had human help before. This can cause other deer to also loose their fear instinct for humans and can cause issues. It's one thing to help deer stuck in mud or a fence. It's a way different thing to have them just there seemingly unharmed. Try to let wild life be wild.
Another thing I've seen is that a deer will approach a human if there's something else bigger and badder in the woods. There was a video of a hunter who was approached by a deer and it kept looking behind it back towards the woods. It kinda edged itself away from the hunter when he touched her ears and she seemed on very high alert. I think it might've ran from something and might've needed help from the hunter.. pretty ironic considering what he was there to do.. but my guess was there was a greater danger in those woods that day.
When I lived with my grandpa, we frequently had deer (roedeer) on the property that didn't really care if we were around. They could be on the porch when you were in the kitchen, so long as the door to the porch was closed, thet didn't mind, unless you made a loud noise or very sudden movement. In my country rabies isn't around either 👍
Where I live, deer typically migrate to the suburbs during hunting season, as though they know it's safer for them there than in the woods. It's not uncommon for them to be quite docile, either approaching or being easy to approach humans. Off season, though, they're as skittish as you expect.
Spreading panic yet again. It's a perfectly healthy deer, there are tons of videos on the internet of deer approaching humans in the areas where they are used to them. Squirrels in my area are not afraid to take food from the hands of random people, for instance. Animals can learn new behaviours
My cousin has a deer that loves to chill and grill with him. They can be friendly and even domesticated with enough exposure. My thought personally, they are majestic cuisine.
Similarly, the clown in Alaska several years ago who lived amongst the grizzlies until they mauled him to death - it’s been speculated the only reason the grizzlies left him alone in the first place is because they assumed he was diseased.
I'm pretty sure there's also a common parasitic infection that can shut off parts of the deers brain making it incapable of fear, but that just looks like a deer whos in a no hunting zone
It could also be a Florida Key deer, it looks rather small like one and the plant life in the background would check out for the state. Key deer are extremely chill with humans((some are asses though)) the key deer will also just walk up to people and honestly it didnt look like the cameraman walked up to the deer and it even seemed rather reactive when the guy went to pet it((twitching and swerving ears, turning head, focused eyes)). So, personally, as someones who's delt with key deer and how bold they are. I dont think that deer is infected with anything at all. I dont mean to be rude with this, but instead of jumping to, "THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER DO [blank]-!!!" Look for the positive answers as well, and maybe run it by some other people beforehand who can help to do research that may have been missed. But, otherwise, love the videos most of the times, and to anyone that read to the end of my key deer ted talk, thank you, it is extremely appreciated :]
Actually deer who aren't afraid sometimes also have behavioral problems too. Deer up at my grandma's place basically think they run the place. You shout and yell get outta the garden and literally they just stare at you while eating your plants. As if saying yeah do something about it
We go to a resort called Woodloch Pines upstate NY and ever since I was 5 (33 now) deer would come up to people all day nudging us for a snack. They where very accustomed to people and knew it was a source of food. It was one of the resorts highlights. Walk out of your cabin and there's like 10+ deer waiting for breakfast 😂
There are completely non-afraid deer hanging out at the temple district of Nara Japan. Once you purchase those deer cookies from the vendor, and walk away, they come rushing at you for those cookies! I got head-butted several times by these very aggressive deer. They showed absolutely NO FEAR of humans at all.
There's a place in Oregon where the deer are domesticated. Jubilee Lake. They've gotten used to campers feeding them, so if you approach them, that's what they assume you're going to do.
So Snow White actually didn't fall on a coma bc of the poisoned apple, but as a delayed effect from being surrounded by all of those seemingly docile and unafraid animals (including deers), while she was singing in the forest, right? I see 🤔...
In PA all of the new yorkers and jersey people vacationing here feed the deer nonstop , literaly hand feed them , theres red smears every 1/4 mile on the roads and highways because they are almost docile and more abundant than rats in the city.
If it appears to be stressed or alerted while sticking close to you or your campsite, it could be picking the lesser of two evils and herding with what it perceives to be other potential prey(you) of whatever it's hiding from.
Ther is an island on Japan full of deer. It is called Miyajima. They are not afraid of humans. I don't think they are all sick because its a huge tourist spot.
This man has never been to Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic National Park, West of Seattle. The deer are so used to people that they will approach you even with their babies.They have no fear of humans.
I grew up near a game preserve that had huge white reindeer.....it was widely known that you could walk right up to them and scratch their muzzle. The local whitetail population was more jumpy.....I've had em trample me while sled riding bc the noisy kids make em jumpy. Maybe it was just living on the game preserve?
It doesn’t mean it is diseased. I have seen whole herds that aren’t afraid of some people because they keep feeding them and build trust. You can usually tell when it is diseased. With rabies it would be aggressive. We don’t need everyone killing docile deer just because it isn’t afraid and doesn’t run away. You should have also stated that Sterling.
It could also just be a neighborhood deer. Where I live in Austin there's entire neighborhoods where the deer have just moved in and have acclimated to humans. Especially out in the Hills where some of the areas most forested regions are now large housing communities built into the nature. In these areas like Westlake the dear simply graze people's front yards and don't run from the inhabitants. They even know to avoid cars
I live in a city where there hundreds of deer, it is nothing to see at least 30 a day at all times of the year , they literally camp out in my back yard ,for decades people have petting and feeding them and they have been more comfortable with people
In san Antonio tx there are times that you can find deer on some of the apartment complexs. They usually wont let you touch them but they will usually let you get about 1 cars length away
In Florida, if you drive through the Ocala National Forest, you are likely to see a LOT of deer, some quite friendly. When you exit the park within a mile, there will be NO deer. Or a hand raised deer would be friendly. Or he could be hurt. BUT that's kangaroo.
Or, the more likely explanation, someone has been feeding this deer and its become used to being around people. Rabid deer tend to act erratically. It doesn't look malnourished.
My grandfather's friend was snoozing in one of his outdoor metal with a soft cushion chair, and, a deer came up to him and eventually snorted (or whatever they do) and woke him up.
if there is rabies in a region then you should not approach fearless wildlife. but if not like in some countries, it can also just be also an injured or dehydrated animal close to death. you also see these after fires. close to death animals (and humans) can loose all fear. perhaps nature put this in because if a predator eats it there is not much lost if they die anyways. but there is a chance of help. i cought birds and squirrels and mice that where in shops or so and close to death because of no food and water. you feed and water them 2 days and they are fearfull again and the walk/fly away. injured animals like foxes after car accidents or so can get tame in some cases when helped back to health for some weeks.
So, that means almost ALL the deer are diseased?!? Orrrr, perhaps they're just used to us now and realize that there's always a chance we might have food? 🤔🤭
The deer here in Northern California are somewhat skittish. It depends on the location. I've been able to sip on my morning cup of coffee on the porch of my friends house with deer just a few feet away. People feed them unfortunately. Deer ticks are no bueno to have around your home
Then there is Japan where deer have come accustomed to humans since they know we won't hunt them. You won't know if it's a disease or not until you get a sample from the animal for testing. It very well could also be the case that it's simply a deer that is constantly around humans due to deforestation.
A few weeks ago me and my mom found what looked to be a rabid raccoon. (We live next to a forest) the raccoon would pace in circles, and wouldn’t mind if we got close. I gave it some cat food, but from a distance. It was ran over the next day, but all night it would pace in circles, making no sound, and not being scared of anyone or anything. But it was slightly scared of loud sounds I think that’s pretty normal for animals though. Are these symptoms of rabies?
We had a deer that wasn't afraid of us it came up to us and don't leave for a day it stayed under our trampoline for that night and we had to call someone to bring it to a center or something and now that I know if a deer comes up to us not good. It didn't look that malnourished but it was a little bit he was a frien :)
My MIL lives in a very small mountain town. The deer in that town wander around town without fear. There are a couple that will take food from your hand. It's just that they are so used to people. I still don't recommend petting wildlife.
I think if there are deer that are friendly then they should get health checks. This way they can treat them if they are sick then leave them alone to go on their mery way. We do it with other wild life, why not prey wildlife too? We can even tag them so both hunters and fish and wildlife can track deer population and habits. The tag would also be so hunters can refuse to cull a deer that has had medical intervention if that is their preference too.
I had a deer come up to me and it wasnt rabid or emanciated. Cant rule out tge third one but i just thought very friendly. Hell for all i know it was the fawn i helped rescue a few years before.
In the St Louis MO area is a county park called Lone Elk Park. It is sort of a drive thru wildlife sactuary for Elk and Bison. At one of the restroom stops there is a deer that roams the parking lot and is pretty used to people

It could also just be a neighborhood deer. Where I live in Austin there's entire neighborhoods where the deer have just moved in and have acclimated to humans. Especially out in the Hills where some of the areas most forested regions are now large housing communities built into the nature. In these areas like Westlake the dear simply graze people's front yards and don't run from the inhabitants. They even know to avoid cars
I live in a city where there hundreds of deer, it is nothing to see at least 30 a day at all times of the year , they literally camp out in my back yard ,for decades people have petting and feeding them and they have been more comfortable with people
Holy moly the video right before this was of a guy petting a strangely docile wild deer 💀
In san Antonio tx there are times that you can find deer on some of the apartment complexs. They usually wont let you touch them but they will usually let you get about 1 cars length away
This also happens in wild rats and mice
Maybe the deer likes grapes or something and is habituated to humans, that’s how they are around where I live.
In Florida, if you drive through the Ocala National Forest, you are likely to see a LOT of deer, some quite friendly. When you exit the park within a mile, there will be NO deer.
Or a hand raised deer would be friendly.
Or he could be hurt.
BUT that's kangaroo.
Or, the more likely explanation, someone has been feeding this deer and its become used to being around people.
Rabid deer tend to act erratically. It doesn't look malnourished.
An interesting learn. I'll remember that if I meet a friendly deer.
My grandfather's friend was snoozing in one of his outdoor metal with a soft cushion chair, and, a deer came up to him and eventually snorted (or whatever they do) and woke him up.
Guy: *always something terribly bad*
Commenters: They were fed by people.
Brain worms too.
If a deer isn't afraid I'm still not afraid
I don't believe this completely because we feed deers on our property and they would come right up to the porch
2 hunters have recently contracted chronic wasting disease after eating infected deer meat. Beware
if there is rabies in a region then you should not approach fearless wildlife. but if not like in some countries, it can also just be also an injured or dehydrated animal close to death. you also see these after fires. close to death animals (and humans) can loose all fear. perhaps nature put this in because if a predator eats it there is not much lost if they die anyways. but there is a chance of help. i cought birds and squirrels and mice that where in shops or so and close to death because of no food and water. you feed and water them 2 days and they are fearfull again and the walk/fly away. injured animals like foxes after car accidents or so can get tame in some cases when helped back to health for some weeks.
This man probably found this deer when it was first born and the mother was killed somehow and he raised it up as a adult
So, that means almost ALL the deer are diseased?!? Orrrr, perhaps they're just used to us now and realize that there's always a chance we might have food? 🤔🤭
The deer here in Northern California are somewhat skittish. It depends on the location. I've been able to sip on my morning cup of coffee on the porch of my friends house with deer just a few feet away. People feed them unfortunately. Deer ticks are no bueno to have around your home
Then there is Japan where deer have come accustomed to humans since they know we won't hunt them. You won't know if it's a disease or not until you get a sample from the animal for testing. It very well could also be the case that it's simply a deer that is constantly around humans due to deforestation.
The other way that some deer lose their fear of man is by people feeding them.
I scrolled after “alright here me out” so it sounded so wrong
“Ho Ho Ho
Money”
Why is it always the same sound effects
A few weeks ago me and my mom found what looked to be a rabid raccoon. (We live next to a forest) the raccoon would pace in circles, and wouldn’t mind if we got close. I gave it some cat food, but from a distance. It was ran over the next day, but all night it would pace in circles, making no sound, and not being scared of anyone or anything. But it was slightly scared of loud sounds I think that’s pretty normal for animals though. Are these symptoms of rabies?
This deer doesn’t seem to have any disease but could but also it could just be from exposure to humans
We had a deer that wasn't afraid of us it came up to us and don't leave for a day it stayed under our trampoline for that night and we had to call someone to bring it to a center or something and now that I know if a deer comes up to us not good. It didn't look that malnourished but it was a little bit he was a frien :)
My MIL lives in a very small mountain town. The deer in that town wander around town without fear. There are a couple that will take food from your hand. It's just that they are so used to people.
I still don't recommend petting wildlife.
I think if there are deer that are friendly then they should get health checks. This way they can treat them if they are sick then leave them alone to go on their mery way. We do it with other wild life, why not prey wildlife too? We can even tag them so both hunters and fish and wildlife can track deer population and habits. The tag would also be so hunters can refuse to cull a deer that has had medical intervention if that is their preference too.
Or Lyme disease. Some of the deer in and around London have this disease. Do not pet them or let them lick your hands.
A deer when u move 0000000.1 centimeters:😭😭😭😭😰😰😰😨😨😨😨
A deer when it’s in a truck heading 1000 miles an hours headlights:😍😍😍😍😍😍🎀🎀🎀🩷🩷🩷🩷☺️☺️☺️☺️
once a rabbit came to me that was chased by a fox and i protected the rabbit and even fed it some carrots (dont asl why i had them with myself)
I had a deer come up to me and it wasnt rabid or emanciated. Cant rule out tge third one but i just thought very friendly. Hell for all i know it was the fawn i helped rescue a few years before.
Why you shouldn’t feed wild animals directly
Right on.
In the St Louis MO area is a county park called Lone Elk Park. It is sort of a drive thru wildlife sactuary for Elk and Bison. At one of the restroom stops there is a deer that roams the parking lot and is pretty used to people
I'm just gonna pretend that the deer is just cool as hell 😐
