Our wild deer friend Yoda - surprisingly calm - ASMR
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 сер 2014
- Yoda - a two year old buck who was born in the woods behind our backyard, and has know us since birth. Oddly, he likes to hang out with his mother, Eva, and the rest of the females in the herd. Normally the females chase away bucks, in part so they can devote their attention to their new fawns. Perhaps because he is so calm, and even acts "properly" around the fawns, the females of the herd let him hang around. In any case, he has been very sweet in these first 2 years. At some point in the near future his hormones will kick in, and we will be curious to see how calm he remains.
Bucks normally leave the herd (females and newborn fawns) after 2 years. During their first year they get their mother's full attention. When they turn one year old, the mothers get new fawns, but the one year old bucks still tag along for about a year. During that second year the females usually chase them away, half-heartedly. If they move just a few yards from the main herd, that's okay. The bucks gradually get the idea, and start their lives off wandering on their own - only joining the females of the herd during mating season.
Yoda has grown into a large young buck, and like his mother, Eva, he is extremely smart. Eva, now ten years old, has been listening to Marlis' in German and English all her life, and seems to have learned a lot of words in both languages. Marlis will often tell Eva something, like, "Eva, don't try to eat that tree behind the fence." She may still try to eat a leaf from the tree that she can grab through the fence, but only when Marlis is not looking. We don't know how many words she actually knows, but she seems to be able to put some complex thoughts together about what we want, and since she is the matriarch of the herd, she always takes what we say "under advisement". When a deer is diseased or injured, often the other deer in the herd will chase them away. This is part of their survival instinct to protect the herd, but sometimes we can help an ailing deer, and so Marlis tells Eva not to let any of the females of the herd chase the ailing deer away. She has always understood that, and somehow instantly communicates that to the herd. Deer mostly communicate through body language, as well as releasing hormones that the other deer immediately sense.
In this video, Yoda meets Sheralee, who is the girlfriend of Marlis' grandson Demian.
ASMR is in the title of this video as a nod to the concept. Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response came to mind, particularly while editing the opening and ending scenes.

I once had a whitetail buck named Bob and he was incredibly laid back even during the rut. I'd take him all over and he loved attention from anyone who'd give it to him. Sadly he passed away about 9yrs ago from old age but I feel very fortunate to have had him for the time I did. He really taught me a lot of how awesome wild animals can be if you respect them enough. Anyways thanks so much for sharing this with us. 🙏🏻
Doesn't sound like "you had him", sounds like "he had you". 🤔 🙂
I remember having a deer that would come around I would feed her wheat bread out of my hand it was so cool
Bob had a good life.
@@bentnickel7487 Nahh WE had each others back which sounds ridiculous I know but it's true and he was or knew when I was feeling depressed and down which I can't explain.. I still don't know why I was the one so damn lucky to have earned such an amazing animals trust and respect like that but I cherish the time and experience of it all and I hope that others will have such an opportunity.
@@imhappyandyou.4003 You're doing something right in life when a wild animal trusts you. You have my respect. As an old man, my most valued friendships in life have been with different animals.
That elderly woman's voice is so soothing. She seems to have a spiritual connection with wildlife. She's like a sage of nature.

I like the young one better.
I see people making comments not very polite...this is lack of education, this is no good!
@@januarioqueiroz3122 agreed to an extent. She seems like a wonderful woman and I wish more people were like her, but I couldn't help but think that that voice was the result of many years of smoking cigarettes.
That nice lady's yard is filled with peace, love and tranquility...pure Zen..!!!
And then when the me deer leaves he gets shot
I would’ve put orange tape and it’s antlers or a rubberneck to signify not to shoot it and spread the word around town instead of just petting the deer deer
What a sweet deer. He knows these humans are good people. 🐾👍
This is the kind of person we should aspire to be like. So in tune with nature and life itself.
the deers run away anyway

Darren Quirolo no I don't aspire to be a hippie thankx
I wish there were more humans like you folks in this world. Everyone would live in peace with each other and more importantly with the nature.
This is a good comment. For all The People that Work In the White House They cannot get along.
i wish i lived there !
No cops no guns !!
Do mountain lions qualify as "nature", because they slaughter deer, bears eat fish ALIVE, among other examples. Chimps tear the reproductive organs off competiting males in fights. Do plants not quality as "life" because they lack eyes and ears? The flesh of the fruit is to protect the seeds, who says its for you to eat? If you want to live in your idealistic version of "harmony", you will have to starve to death, because in order to eat, you are stealing life from something, plant or animal. And I bet your the hypocritical kind who disregards all the facets of your life that harm nature indirectly. All the places you shop, place you live, every single industry that is tied to your purchases and actions heavily harm nature.
@@ricardoestrada1176 The people in the White house get along fine. Its the dems that don't get along with people in the White house
I used to work in a 600 acre industrial park. There were about 50 assorted businesses in the park ranging from offices to manufacturing and warehouses. When they first opened the park a number of hunters approached the owners and asked for permission to hunt on the property since it was about 90% undeveloped woodland. It seems the owners didn't take kindly to the idea. The following week a notice went to every business and there suddenly were signs all over the property. Hunting and fishing was officially prohibited from the property and the signs warned that poachers carrying fire arms within the industrial park would be assumed to be there to commit violent crimes and could be subject to preemptive defense with deadly force. Well of course the police made them change the signs because basically they meant that hunters carrying guns would be shot dead on sight. I know some might find such signs over the top and maybe they were a bit but the point was made. In the nine years I worked there about 30 would be poachers were arrested. Meanwhile, the speed limit was reduced to five miles an hour in the park with speed bumps installed all over. Some people complained but I think it was worth it. Hardly a day went by that I didn't get to see deer wandering around the industrial park and many people including me got out of their cars for a closer look. While for the most part the deer tended not to approach humans, many did and often enough that it happened to me several times. A group of us got permission from the owners to plant juniper trees which deer seem to like. I spent a lot of time sitting in one spot taking pictures. But deer wasn't the only wildlife there. We had a lot of turkeys, owls, bald eagles, and a handful of relatively rare birds visit the park. The owners also installed a 20 acre man made lake to attract waterfowl. That was definitely a nice addition. The year before I moved out of state I got together with a few others who worked there and created a butterfly/hummingbird garden of just under an acre.
this comment reeks of bullshit. but you've got one hell of an imagination I'll give ya that.
The buck could have fallen asleep right on the lady's arm at the end of the video at 3:47. It was so relaxing to watch an animal have so much trust and a human have so much care.
He is a very sweet natured fellow.
Human beings long for contact with the natural world.
yeah, since we are animals too. WOuld be cool if I could sleep around with deers and animals and feel safe together
Sometimes it seems they (we) just want to consume it.
we are not animals. GOD created humans as above the animals.
You mean Odin, when he and his brothers created Ask and Embla, the first humans, from two trees? Yeah, definitely different than the animals they created.
We are part of nature.
The Sami people here in Sweden have a similar relationship with deers. Herding and living off of them has been a cultural practise for generations, and a neccessary part of their life.
This cult looks super chill. I'm in.
I will take this cult over the one calling itself the Republican Party.
what a wonderful life
Looks like those deer are domesticated, though they aren't. Glad to see you guys treat them with respect. Beautiful animals. You're lucky to have them around.
There are deer in my neighborhood that are not scared like that. They come right up and eat apples 3 feet away. Ive never tried to touch them. One is a 5 point mule deer and I dont want an antler in my a$$
Bucks can be dangerous when in rut

He must be super calm and trustworthy to be allowed in the vicinity of fawns. Hopefully he will pass on those calm and trustworthy genes. It must be so nice for those deer to have a safe haven in your yard. It’s absolutely wonderful to see them so relaxed.
the deer found the safe zone of no hunting area.....
Love it thank you for being nice to him.
“The women don’t like you”
“They all run away”
Sounds familiar.
I would take a lovely granny petting me every day
did Deer says that thru sage?
yoda is gay...
@@walkertongdee if that were a truth he'd only let the guy's pet him,silly...
Thanks beautiful people animals just need to be loved just like mankind thank you all.
Heaven right in their backyard! Beautiful and touching!
Wonder who cleans up the poop??
Dr Jo Jo Good question!
How people could hunt such an ethereal creature I will never know.
It also called population control, my area had a disease strain run through the whole area because of over population. Conservation officers and local hunters had to come in and whipe the whole population out to keep it from spreading to other area's. Sad but its a fact of life, with out predators to hunt the deer over population will occur.
Hunters should have never killed off the wolves. What's wrong with eating berries instead of deer body parts?
Because its yummy.
To save the population. That is why
@Tim Mentzer Thank you for the story Dr. Seuss.
You are so lucky having deers sitting around your garden and being able to even touch them, amazing☺
I wish I knew where this was...California? Canada? We have deer 🦌 🦌 in the suburbs of Chicago where I live. I see them walking through the yard but they like to sit in the neighbor's yard. I have never approached them too closely.
Probably these Deer had been in that place for so long that they know the people living there that's why they're sociable.
I want to pet one too :D
I agree with you 👍🏻
I do too. It's a creature of majestic beauty.
I'm from the San Francisco bay area and we've had deer coming through my parents back yard almost every day since they bought the house 50 years ago. Never tried to touch one but they don't get to scared when I'm working in the yard around them. We have Bobcats, foxes, coyotes, turkeys, skunks, raccoons and now mountain lions are coming into town. I have seen a mountain lion once and my dad has seen 2 different ones. Another guy that worked for my dad actually was in a small yard with a mountain lion and watched it jump out of a tree onto a large buck and then climbed an 8 ft fence with it in it's mouth and that was the same mountains my parents house is on. Just a couple months ago a 6 year old was attacked by a mountain lion a little south of San Francisco. The last 20 years animals have started coming down into town more than ever. Coyotes and turkeys were never seen and now they are everywhere. Pretty sure people were hunting a lot 40 years ago so I think the animals around here are not seeing humans as a threat anymore. I see missing cat posters everywhere. Cats used to be hanging around anywhere outside less than 10 years ago but now they are less seen than the coyotes and the turkeys. One of my friends was walking her dog on a trail close to town and 2 coyotes came up to her and her dog and started biting at them and she had to swing the plastic ball launcher she had at them while she backed down the trail for a good minute. I've seen pack's of them and heard at least 15 to 20 different ones howling and barking at night surrounding my parents house in every direction. I guess they all have a part in nature but it's getting a little too close when small children aren't safe anymore.
@@lacquerhead6938 That's fascinating but at the same time scary especially that mountain lions... Maybe they're tempted to come down due to the smell of food being cooked.. I saw a video where a family was grilling some meat when a bear came out of nowhere..
@@1724joshua Are you sure about that grill smell luring it in? i think it was hoomans what bear was looking at
Very lovely friends.. Enjoy!
You, Yoda and the herd clearly respect each other, but more importantly they can feel your beautiful and gentle vibe. Thank you for sharing this amazing video. 🤗
Как моя душа радуется, из за того, что эти животные в безопасности. 🙏👏👏👏👍👍👍💃😃
What a beautiful animal,,usually deer keep their distance from humans,,but he has trust for this lady that has known him since birth..cute fawn too....😁😊😍
I don't know what's more beautiful, the peaceful nature of the video in general, the connection to the deer that are every where, the land , or yalls property. Beautiful !
Dios ke hermosa 😍 es la Naturaleza 🙂 Dios las bendiga y les multiplike x siempre 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇲🇽❤️❤️🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
At 60 years old I've quit hunting these beautiful animals. I sometimes feel that each animal I've shot has left a stain on my soul. Now I hunt with a camera and feel better for it. Hank
Some people do eat them, ya know? They are so tasty.
Hank Hankenhunter I stopped at age 68. Pretty much the same reason.
It took you 60 years to realize how beautiful they are? I realized when I was 5 years old.
I'm with you, but somebody has to do it.
I'm sure you and your family with a game that you shot try not to feel bad about it
What an absolute gift from God to be able to live like you live with these animals God bless you
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story! Both you and this deer are lucky! God bless
Adopt me, you must.
Attention from humans, i require
How hard would it be to offer this beautiful animal and his herd a $6.00 salt lick and an apple or goat pellets.i think if we
Are offered friendship from
Wild animals give them something in return water is good,salt,some fruit and try not to hsnd feed them.
Place the gifts by the trails they use.
"Adopt me, you must.
Attention from humans, i require..."
Excuse me, but isn't that what Yoda said?
Yoda fanatic, you are

Such an awesome display of affection, I am quite pleased with watching all of this. I don't know for sure what to say but I Love you all who listens and loves animals!
Me encantaría vivir así rodeada de estos bellísimas criaturas ,buenos hermosos cariñosos ,bendita sea está mujer por hacer esta maravilla
How can you not look at this and not be in awe with the invisible power of true love 💕
Que tremendo privilegio tener un jardin semejante😄
Watching this is very peaceful and serene. There is something spiritual about it. Extraterrestrial. Divine. This must have been an unforgettable experience for you the first time you had their trust to be so affectionate. I hope you continue to treat them with love and respect. How wonderful it is that you were able to record this and share it with us the viewers. Magical.
The older I get the more I'm amazed at our beautiful world
she certainly looks like the type to have a wild deer friend
It's great 👍to see 👀so many people friends with 🦌deers and other wild animals bless 🙌🙏
Wow that buck Yoda he's just kind chill isn't he ?🙂
These deers know that they are welcomed and certainly not going to be harmed. Wonderful
Beautiful creatures. Thank you for loving them.
This is so very tranquil. You all vibrate an energy so peaceful, so naturally in-tune. I am honoured to come across this, thank you so much for posting.
ever since quarantine started my youtube feed became wholesomer and wholesomer. this video is amazing. thank you.
Thanks for your comment. When we figured out that these guys were our neighbors and we moved into their environment, we started to see how sensitive they can be. They wander from yard to yard, nibbling on any tasty plant they can find, and if you don't frighten them, they can be very accepting. Their zen-like quality, their ability to be still and seemingly very calm, and yet extremely alert - just being around them can be a very calming experience. This is one of my favorite meditations with a deer friend: ua-cam.com/video/PCAXlaQNrI4/v-deo.html
All of us want the same thing this deer and we humans want is to be loved. This is beautiful!
Lucky lady having such gorgeous residents in her garden.
I was expecting this older lady to cast some magic spell i don't know why... I get this positive gandalf'ish vibe from her
Dan....you do understand that Gandalf is a fictional character don't ya??
Big gandolf vibes
@@drjojo5551 "HE IS?"
Yes she is a “witch”
Witches are evil. She is not. Your intuition is flawed.
Mother and daughter showing respect and love to the deer. Thank you.
This is How Our World Should Be ! Honestly ! This is Very Special To Me Watching This ! I Love Animals !
Yoda truly loves you. You don't offer them food to let you touch them. I have never seen a wild animal connect with a human without using food.
I love it. You are one of the wonderful things about the internet. Thank you so much for sharing
Que adorables son esos renitos si Dios me diera la oportunidad de tener un sitio así tuviera un par de renitos son tan hermosos.
Such beautiful, precious animals. THE WORLD NEEDS MORE WONDERFUL, CARING PEOPLE.
It's nice to know that the deer have a nice safe place to go relax and take a break from the wild
This is awesome. I feel relaxed just from watching. You people are like deer whisperers.
check racoon whisperer out on youtube
awww he's such a sweetheart!
Just beautiful !!!!!!
This is beautiful . It looks peaceful. The animals look happy
This is so incredibly beautiful ❤️
Yoda: You two-legged animals treat me good. Thank you!
Amazing! How animals can sense love and care.....we don't make that call. Animals can smell that love. I'm so thankful to you to feel the same and share it with them. This world NEEDS more LOVE and COMPASSION!
She gives hope to the human race. What a wonderful person
Thanks for sharing. Love stuff like this.
What a wonderful person god bless her
I could sleep in her yard so peaceful full of love and care it's just so amazing
Great video, great people ! This world needs more of them !
Mysteriously, this video does have an ethereally calming and soothing effect...
@The Nerdge Sarcasm intended?
@The Nerdge It royally sucks....
What a lovely garden
What a lucky lady. I wish I had these beautiful animals
All the deer are calm around this lady, amazing!!!!!!
Trust....they know this kind humas wont hurt them......nice!!..👍👏💖
Totally outstanding stuff.
Это СЧАСТЬЕ!❤ЛЮБОВЬ
Yah, you don't fool me. That's a dog in a deer costume. Lol.
It's inspiring to see this video, I hope one day we all connect to wildlife this way.
Thank you for sharing.
Incredible! What a nice and calm video.
very nice vidio. was very relaxing to watch. my neighbors were nursing two fawn last spring. I had the pleasure of bottle feeding one of them.
Animals are the best judge of character. They sense things people cannot.
Just the fact you can get close and then be able to pet them wow incredible I'm jealous!
I'd quit deer hunting if I lived there. soooooo majestic and beautiful! !!!
Scott Cozart: go ahead and do it. Life is to precious. If all the deer in the world is gone!!! Is cause man extinct them. What a waste huh. Live in peace and harmony my friend and bless you for knowing right from wrong.
I wouldnt. But if they came up in my yard I'd give em a break.
@@jesusamartinez7983 Deer will never be extinct man. No matter how much hunting is done. By not hunting them would help desecrate the population.
I was just thinking if maybe your property has a special essence about it. Like in tune with the earth and the universe that causes the deer to comfortable there and of course the wonderful people too that allow them to visit whenever feel like strolling in for a visit.
She's right. The special essence is ample food and a lack of predators. You can find the same essence in our urban slums, where ample food, government checks, economic discouragement for productive work or traditional marriage, and a lack of predators led to a population explosion of bastards.
Nature does balance itself, however. One day those old hippy farts will die, and then some local wolves or coyotes will have Rosie and Yoda for a quick meal. As for those slums, they are already filling up with predators. Once all the bastards have looted their local convenience marts and stores for goodies, their sources of food will dry up. Once the kleptocratic socialist apparatus they depend on for sustenance dies, they will either move on to greener pastures or die off right along with it. It's already happened in Detroit.
DrCruel Very true.
DrCruel You sound like such a bitter person! :D

Beautiful. Deer are such amazing animals. You are very lucky and privileged to have them so close. :)
Nice to see you're treating them so well and they, you. :)
Enchanting, what a beautiful place to live.
How beautiful is this..... 💖💖💖👍😉
"He wants to eat my ring" not the first time she has said that!
It seems the further humans stay away from "the outdoors" the more we become lost, and no amount of money, home , car,etc can replace.
When you get old enough you start to realize money is worthless if you don't have joy, love and the fundamentals of life.
I wish i was a deer being petted by this amazing lovely lady with such peaceful voice
Mesmerized by love. Human and deer alike.
That blonde girl there is beautiful, she has an aura of pure gold
Wow, so beautiful!!! (sigh) 😄
Thank you for your kind attitude, it's great when wild animals are not afraid of humans. respect
what a beautiful creature... God bless the family who take good cate of them...
i know this is a old vid but i just found it and it is wonderful
Nice deer - but who's the fox?
