My wild deer friends are very relaxed w/their human neighbors but hold "trust" exclusively to specific individuals

Whether it is a deer or a human !!

They won’t. Deer are extremely good readers of people. They instinctively know who’s on their side and who isn’t.

The deer learns to trust. Hope he doesn't trust the wrong person.

Those hateful hunters. I hope she's o.k.🦌

Well said! ❤️

Yes

Right! 😊👍👍👍

TRUE

I used to have breakfast with a pair of crows, in 4 years learned their vocal language!

@@francisconti9085 so you can communicate with them ?

@@jaimep3432 we always are, we usually don't realize what we are passively "saying" .. it's just like body language & eye contact, you know when you have developed rapport, when you have irritated, when someone is scared, excited, etc..when someone gives you that look of "DUDE! WTF!" Or: "wtf dude?" Deer have very communicative mannerisms, and take ours very seriously, what we call micro expressions they use primarily. They learn our "tones" too, they do have vocalizations, more contact calls and alarms, not like is.far as deer are concerned, they'd rather we stay hush, they like quiet to hear anything sneaking up. When you see scrapes, rubs, gnawed branches, squatted crap pile , they are saying " my territory" Scent is huge form af awareness & communication to deer.. *By scent trail, touching plants they've marked I can acknowledge them, like saying, "yo, saw you were here", by following an individual deer's routine path, touching thingss along the way I can "say" I was looking for you." I can wait in a location nd make a noise, & they'll come out.. So ya as long as they're not scared, they can be communicated with..even though sight and scent are their primary communication!

@@msakbar12345 whoever filmed those Komodos was either brave, stupid, or understood them a lot better than I do.. HOLY SHIT.. I can deal with large carnivores such as wolves and mountain lions but Komodos are WAY out of my league..everybody gotta eat, folks should follow deer, watch them eat baby birds/eggs, nest & all.. in spring. If anyone dislikes hunting, this video will show them the true nature of nature.. hunting is much more humane end usually devoid of the suffering typically endured by natural death by starvation or predation. I have my deer friends, but I have no qualms about eating the "tourists" *Video made me hungry, but my food usually isn't quite that "fresh"😆

Not always about food..My wild deer do this AFTER they have gotten full, ready to bed & ruminate or when just spending time greet& groom, reinforcing social group bond. They will "buddy-bond" with people too

@@francisconti9085 How kind of them.

@@Sealed_Chamber I've been able to "negotiate" with my wild deer not to eat the produce in our community garden @ the church where I work. They have plenty of food available, compost and "punky"/overripe produce, lots of clover, the security of a woodlot, nearby birdfeeders and water.. (they've got it made!) They eat & bed down to ruminate in the yard, nice to sit w/them 1-4 hours @a time ..so cool to pull in & see then waiting for me🥰..I don't feed them, so is all about our time chilling.. I'm a buddy @ the "lounge" Quite something to be appreciated by wildlife. That doe acted just like my matriarchal 5yr old doe Zoe. .they develop human "associates" as security against predators and sometimes to get away from intra-species hierarchy/stresses..just walking up and grooming each other is a bonding activity, it is soothing to them when they do that, they won't groom outside of family of their own species, but will engage w/select people. Especially those who stand quietly, and apart from others. We do make good salt licks too, once they discover.. This one acting like head of the HOA.. "Lady, buy the house and plant flowers for me to eat..I'm a pregnant Momma, you a momma? Either way us girls stick together!"🤣 Lol..Could so see that, never quite know!

@@francisconti9085 That is very interesting, thank you for the well-written reply.

@@Sealed_Chamber I've spent 20 years with deer, if I can share back what I've learned so others can have the same opportunities to understand and enjoy living together with wildlife as I have, then I'm "worthy" of the privilege, its priceless.. I just got to work, my deer friends are here waiting for me, one walked over to greet me, nuzzled & walked off to eat, rest of family bedded down out back..priceless friendship🥰🦌 *Haha, waiting for me, like "the gang gets together after work"😁

Hedgehogs come close to my window!

I like looking at them through the scope of my thirty ought six

@@JR-sd8wh I love animals but a man's gotta eat

Not necessarily. One of my sisters used to have wild deer walk up to her all the time.

@@juniorjohnson9509 okay

Older deer get to know people mannerisms really well. I walk with wild deer. I sit with them. I work alongside them. I acknowledge them and let them do what they need to do. I run my hands along what I want help trimming, they do a pretty good job of helping. I asked them to stay out of my Church's community garden, one buck jumped in, Momma was short snorting, head up, ears pinned.. I yelled @ him, he cleared the fence, and I then quietly reassured him.. he got it & others learned. The Momma came up & nuzzled me..beyond my expectation or understanding..amazing animals..

@@francisconti9085 You're the Deer Whisperer! 😮 I see deer in my neighborhood at certain times of the year. Once it seemed as if a young buck was chasing me as I rode on my bicycle. It was funny yet a bit freaky.

@@lemurianchick Haha, I'm afraid I realize now all too well how much our behaviors "yell" so perhaps I'll have to accept the title of being a "deer whisperer" like it or not! I notice they like when I'm most subtle. They read everything before you can make a sound! *Yes, they will commonly "run alongside" mountain bikers on trails, I always wondered if it was a "RUN FIRST, THEN EVADE.. ASK QUESTIONS LATER!" vs the "ninja freeze" while they figure out if the high speed movement was a threat or not.. Got me thinking, LOTS of times only one deer runs as a decoy if they are all concealed, but if they feel safe or the need, all running can create an advantage of "masking" individuals' locations by flooding the vicinity w/the "random-spread" of sound, creating ambiguity rather than clear target to follow.. The "run&zig-zag POUNDING hooves in is a clear warning call.. DEFCON 5! DEFCON 4 would be a snort, DEFCON 3 would be the tail up & flared, DEFCON 2 would be a "freeze" with flared white of tail & rump, ears locked on target, DEFCON 1 would just be a "..WAZZAT??!" freeze & radar ears.. LOL, DEFCON 0 is when all is chill, which is actually most of the time, but still highly alert.. Then there is "PARANOIA CON"...and as expert multitaskers, (like a good housecat).. "I WILL IGNORE YOU AS I DO WHAT I GOTTA DO, DON'T INTERRUPT MY LIFE PROCESS..BUT DON'T THINK I'M NOT GIVING YOU FULL SCRUTINY MEANWHILE" mode LOL.. most of the day deer in established territory/routine are busy eating, ruminating, and loving on each other, watching out & grooming are expressions of affection "you are important, ❤" I've learned that they are very calm by nature, & cherish all the peace they can find in certainty of safety & routine. The older they get the more chill they get, no stress unless it is worth it..less drama! I spent 2 hours w/ my buddies this evening, was like time w/good friends..such purity & innocence, what the world needs so much more of..

He must've been raised around people. Wild deer don't walk up to you.

@@MarkSmith-hf5nh She, & they occasionally will..usually only the matriarchs, older deer who have "neighborhood" as their territory. This one acted like my 5yr old wild doe, Zoe. I don't feed her, but she accepts me as part of her daily "family"..last August she left me with her 2month old twins,told me to "park it" till I got it through my head. They will make friends, exploit us as useful. They know more about us as to how we impact them than we appreciate. Enlightening to walk with wild deer, see family bond, see how they live together, how families gather in herds, hierarchy layers.. So much to learn and some to relearn/unlearn.. absolute respect when in "their house" has been richly rewarded

Hello

This deer has lost it’s fear of humans. Not a good thing. It will end up as someones dinner thanks to well meaning but foolish people. deer are not pets. You want a pet go get a dog or cat.

@@alienlife7754 that's it. Take something beautiful and turn it ugly.

If someone keeps trying to bond with wild animals- it usually ends with a terrible scenario - ask the cayote

Doe?

I would love to pet a deer too I see them all the time but none will come close enough to me

I'm so mad now at a stranger woman😭 But i'm glad that you love animals, and that you raised so many animals

The horns of a deer can puncture skin tho lol let one charge u and hit u in the stomach u will be thinking different then.

Also indicative of ..pregnancy, or just being a deer. My wild deer have allowed me to treat them, happily parasite free..don't know if they make association, but mutually safer for us..they frequent my yard, my Mom's and the church where I work.

Mr. Khan Lions and tigers have to eat

@@sssdddf8508 I'm sure we all get that, but that doesn't make it less painful to watch.

Me too, I eat the tourists..

No it actually happens what we see in the video because some other humans gave them food before.

This is true

King Doc - I believe this to be true

Love is a purely human concept

@@Rdenham1976 WHAAAT!??? Clearly you do not have pets or...if you do they are in trouble! LACK OF LOVE may be almost purely human but LOVE is Universal. If we don't get it from our distorted Mother and or Father who may not see it in the World. But I assure you it exists in far more ways than ordinary eyes can see. The birds singing for you. The spider that catches the mosquito for you. The ants that clean up your spilled food for you. The roaches that tell you you need to clean something. The hurricane and rough weather that comes when the people have too much Arrogance or Jealousy all are forms of Love. When enough people know and give this LOVE hunting will cease as higher forms of thinking take place.

@@Rdenham1976 you are mistaken - I see it every day Animals - particularly dogs, cats , horses have feelings They can figure people out very quickly- they are aware

@@tonyv8925 Are we talking about something from the Sound of Music perhaps?

Direct predatorial eye contact, they bolt if one of their own stop&stare too..fight -glare!.....ears pinned..Clint Eastwood style, "YOU FEELING LUCKY..PUNK?"💣💥

The Doe I feed recognizes my voice .

@@r563 She can smell 1,000 times better than we can, recognize mannerisms farther than she can recognize by visual clarity

Sandy89107, you notice how she walked up to the lady? Doe is older, probably local Matriarch, on a peacewalk to establish co-dominance in her territory, develop bonds.. they will use us to their advantage, not just for food, sometimes to get away from "deer politics" by bonding with "associates" who can "deflect" predators or other deer, allowing less anxiety.. they know us better than we know them! They're smart animals, the urban ones are amazingly socially resourceful, manage around multiple human schedules, even plan to a degree 🤯🥰👍

@@francisconti9085 I did not have any idea their resourcefulness. Thank you. I have a lot more admiration for them now 🥰

@@sandy89107 just wait till ya learn more, they will surprise you.. 🤔..🤯..🥰 ..(just like finding out some cats play fetch, bring toy & solicit play, lol! I still have so much more to discover.. Rewatch the vid several times to get past emotional value, then focus on doe's "conversation" and what she is alert to while cautiously, expressively approaching..relaxed focus towards lady but alert towards surroundings..like a cat or dog walking up to a stranger.. and the lady being separate from the group..meeting of "spokespersons"🤔😉👍 *Kinda long in effort to express proper context, but I try my best🤞.. I have spent 20 years around whitetail deer, but last 5 have been spent MUCH CLOSER to one matriarchal lineage..actually walking with, "embedded to the family" not just "stopping like a tourist & gawking". Learning individual territory, "schedule" & diet, acknowledging directly whenever I saw because I recognized the INDIVIDUAL, rather than the "oh, DEER! Wow, DEER!" novelty..learning HOW to be close to wild animals sometimes is as simple as not acting quite as "human". We act like the paparazzi typically! NOT staring them down, transfixed with predatory glare helps..loose relaxed body posture helps too.. Watch a spooked or angry deer: stiff, neck straight up, eyes glaring, frozen in place..then look @relaxed deer..totally different.. nose to ground then head NOT whipped up & glaring, soft approach.. What's the first thing we humans do when we see a novelty? We stop and take it in! For the duration! Realizing this made an immediate difference! "Stop, acknowledge, relax, resume, show respect, "yielding" ..facilitate their ease of activity, don't interfere with their routine, not disrupting a HUGE starting point. Communicating actively & consistently, knowing effect, rather than passively agitating by unrealized body language "conflicts" is just something I had to learn over time.. along w/the fact if you treat them w/expectation without listening and acknowledging situation & reactions, things don't go well.. like I said takes time & attention, but a tremendous blessing! We have to relearn our expectations sometimes, all I had learned was short of nature's truth, as humans we have to work harder to reconnect to the contexts of "non human society" around us. Wildlife is typically more content to resume their activity than be disrupted. "Dialogue" is available, we just have to come to the "conversation" respectfully from ever growing knowledge and trust🥰 *I hope to eventually create a video "Rosetta-stone " of sorts, as I did for corvid (crow)vocal language context/structure(their language is based upon THEIR WORLD PERSPECTIVE..not ours) As for whitetail, they love family, peace, calm quiet, routine and being acknowledged. If you bring reassurance, they start thinking you aren't so bad. They get wiser to people as they get older too. They learn us and are curious, always cautious but engaging as they feel safe..they learn humans fill the birdfeeders🥰

@@sandy89107 HOW MUCH wildlife is actively engaged within and around our routines is absolutely amazing!
