I have three bucks that fed in my yard from August to Oct this fall. I couldn't imagine shooting one, it would be like killing a pet.
I purposely scared them off during hunting season just to educate them a bit. They picked up on it fast and began only showing up well after dark..

Exactly.
Sorry but saying a deer is a "pet" is just not right. They are a wild animal, Atlas is smart enough to keep his distance, but I believe it was last year a man in NY was killed by one of these "pets".
Treating a deer like a friend/Pet is just not right, and plays right into the ARA hands.
Yes enjoy and respect a deer, but a deer can not be a friend/Pet, a deer has no capacity to do so.

He didn't say it "was" a pet...........he said they were "like" pets.

Well the phrase "trusting relationship" doesn't sound as good as "buddy"
The gentleman was older man and was killed by "like pet" deer in NY it was not in a deer farm. Not sayingI am right or you guys are wrong. We should always remember these deer are wild animals. Great pics he is a dandy

oh no, I see where this is going.
I still think that is awesome that
1) you have the opportunity to see then animals in your hard
2) the you respect the animal to the point where you don't care to take him. It says a lot.
