Guy's epic response when starving deer shows up at door 

Agreed, the adopt, raise, rehab, and let go route in my opinion is the best route for both parties. You get to experience their whole life, their personality, and their everything. But one day they'll have to leave, keeping a wild animal as a pet is unnatural. As well as domesticating them. I believe its better for them to live the life they deserve despite how dangerous or risky it is. Its simply nature.

yes, much respect. I know you miss your Fairy but that's the nature of life.

AMEN

I don't think people understand and in fact I know they don't. In the wild the deer isn't going to live to be "old". It just happens to eat plants so it is easier to survive but it will be hunted by man and animal and there are also cars. The deer would live 3x-4x longer at least in domestication. There is absolutely no comparison. People just have no experience and no idea, so they just say something dumb like animals should be in the wild etc.. but at the same time wouldn't send their dog to live out in the woods. People are generally clueless about everything in the world from what I have seen, especially nature.

Maybe she'll bring her baby to show you how well she's done. That would be priceless.

Why did you even have to say that?

He needs to do something about that if it's on his property.

@@davegoodwin1848 The guy said in the video it was hunters in area. Not unlikely something could happen.

@@BRUTUSz That's not the point. Not at all, sad that it was lost on you. What I meant is why would someone say something so negative and bring up a horrible end after such a beautiful story? It is also a rhetorical question...do you know what that is?? It means there is no answer required and it was most likely meant sarcastically.

@@davegoodwin1848I dont hunt animals, but others do. Something could have happend to the deer. incident with car, hunters. Is that wrong fore you to hear? Are you a ai bot i wonder.

It made me tear up. 😢

I agree. It was sad hearing the whistle and not seeing fairy but reassuring at the same time.

"You know what the best part of my day is? It's for about ten seconds when I pull up to the curb to when I get to your door. 'Cause I think maybe I'll get up there and I'll knock on the door and you won't be there. No goodbye, no "see ya later", no nothin'. You just left. I don't know much, but I know that."

@tiffanybenefield1980 I think you are right and one fine day she will return with her baby or babies to show them off to her "Human Mom"! Your beautiful comment warmed this Great Grandmother's heart ❤Tiffany! I have seen so many videos where the orphaned deer does bring her babes back to the only " Mom" they've ever known. I am happy this little Gal was able to thrive back into it's natural environment ~ the forest! but hope she returns for a visit however brief! ❤Beautiful comment on a breathtakingly sweet story!❤ Thanks for sharing Tiffany❤

@@lindahaggard6416 Thank you & you're welcome.

I bet when Fairy has a family of her own she will return and show him her babies - I hope and pray Fairy and the other deer family are healthy and safe - thanks so very much for sharing Fairy's story - sending love & blessings

@@kimberlypotts3874 I agree & thank you & same ti you.

She will bring her babies around when she gets pregnant

Search youtube for deer and dog friends, im sure you'll approve

I find it so sad ... like at the end here 😭 but I know it is for her benefit to be with her own kind. God bless and protect her

Because you didn't raise them.

I think when you bottle feed them they imprint on you. Changes things a lot. I know It happens with baby cows so probably with deer also.

Living that close to the forest i wouldnt call it paradise, canada got bears and mountain lion idk which ones

This is staged bro, get a clue.

@@katsu9582 Sweden, Norway or Finland then. It's just like Canada, minus the dangerous animals. We do have wolves and brown bears, but there aren't many of them, and they never attack people. In fact, they are terrified of humans.

Yea thats what hard work does. Do women know what that is or is it just handed to them from one bf to the next until it doesn't work out anymore?

@@tomsoyer5639what’s staged bro?

Yeah I think I'm in love.

@@maryannpaulson4598 I get it! He is handsome. Quite handsome. And a decent man.

Rejected by the tribe because she smelled like humans, probably dead by now.

I really like how you worded that. Fairy had a better childhood than most, and was certainly healthy.. that’s awesome

Beautifully said

You must miss her

She'll come back in time. They remember, and, yes, she loved him. That's why she'll come back. It'll be to see him. 🙂

No, not always, and not as consistently as dogs.

SWEET WORDS! THIS STORY BROUGHT OUT THE BEST IN MANKIND!

It's a nice thought but then we eat a hamburger.

@@davidhunternyc1speak for yourself lol

@@davidhunternyc1- This just means we cannot turn the planet into one big farm. Focusing on stopping expansionist development means there is a small hope of saving ecosystems and wildlife, and most importantly, biodiversity. Maybe stop eating so many burgers…they’re disgusting in fast food anyway. I have got myself down to one every six months, and a steak every four months. I get my protein from beans…and free-range chicken. I eat more veggies and use spices to make them delicious. These are just suggestions, not me trying to act all superior or judgemental. 😊

@@davidhunternyc1it's not a deerburger

Awe, can we really coexist? I mean, I feel they will always try to take us for our paper and break our violin strings.

This is a beautiful comment ... much needed love indeed. 💓

@@AuditClerk😁.

@@jbavarian8100 Then you ought to look in the mirror - but perhaps get off your high horse first.

WOW! I LOVE YOUR WORDS...I AGREE..."LOVE STEPS IN, BUT ONLY IF YOU LET IT."

@@beverlyhill9947 ❤️.

This breaks the narrative that all men are useless. Ladies, this man appears single…you’d be luck to find a man like him. They’re out there and don’t do drama. 😮

​@@doogleticker5183 Maybe he's not ? Maybe he's gay ? Maybe he doesn't want to have someone in his life ? You can't assume anything. Also guys like him are rare.

I care for the old, I have rescued 2 children on 2 different occasions, and I rescue and care for homeless cats, and I am still hated.

I think some famous old or even ancient Indian once said something along the lines of " you can tell how good a civilization is by how they treat the animals". Not a precise quote but ya'll get it.

​@@KingZealotTacticsMahatma Ghandi said it.

I've heard of that happening a couple of times.

I know hunters who have done this exact same thing.

​@@jbavarian8100JEALOUS!

people always say "we need more people like him" but no one ever says "I need to be like him"

@@jbavarian8100 He is narcissist for taming a wild animal?

He's not good looking though.

yes he clearly does! Raccoons are sweet animals too.

yah ♥🦌🫂♥

Men are better and Kinder than Women

​@@jbavarian8100I think you're jealous of his looks, his house , that he's living life! GTfOH!

@@jbavarian8100 Uhhh, the man cared for the deer cause of his concern for her health and safety. He is truly an angel on earth. Who pissed in your cereal????

Men are better and Kinder than Women

WELL SAID INDEED!

Bucks don't stay with does after they're bred. They'll continue on to the next one that's in season until they either breed her or are run off by a bigger more dominant buck.

@@PorchHonkey I know they don’t. That’s why this little group caught my eye I gave them my full attention after the 2nd year. I even had my dad double check what I saw because he was a career wildlife officer. Definitely the only buck I’ve ever known to be like that.

@@denalinde Exactly what time of year have you observed this?It wasn't an antlered doe was it? Although super rare, it does occur. Your dad most likely would've picked up on that if it were. But there are exceptions to every rule. And this may be yet another example of that fact. Pretty neat! Maybe it was a modern day progressive type of buck 🤡? What's even more mind blowing for me,(and believe me, it don't take much) though. Is that there is a 2nd buck from that same proximity. That displays the same fairly unusual behavior. Possibly this buck identifies as a doe or even a fawn.(just kidding) And it has actually picked up where the first buck left off!? There has to be some logical cause or reason for this. Just when ya think you've got it all figured out!? P.S. please don't think I'm a troll or trying to be a wise guy. I'm seriously perplexed by your story.

@@PorchHonkey Oh, it was definitely a buck. I had my dad double check (50+ year pro/amateur nature photographer & career state wildlife/land management officer, & after he retired he reported directly to our governor for wildlife special projects for a bit). My dad took an interest from the start when I told him white tail & mule deer were hanging out together. Supposedly that’s “impossible” but I’d say “rare” based on my experience. I don’t know why he thought I didn’t know the difference between mulies & white tail because they’re so distinctly different, but he had to see it for himself. Then I saw the buck with the boys because I was paying more attention than usual. Now there’s a chance one of them was a female for sure but over the years I don’t think there’d be 3 or 4 such females in that small herd. My direct area is insulated from hunters & it’s winter when I especially notice that crew coming to my actual window & visiting, but there are tons of deer year round within 2 miles of me. My dad lived about 10 miles away, less as the crow flies, & he also had deer year round, but somehow “my” herd was a bunch of weirdos. It’s thinned down now to only white tail & I noticed the new buck in charge doesn’t allow others to hang out, so maybe the old guy was just strange & it also confirms he was a boy since everything stopped the year he died. I’m happy he lived to be pretty old, & I’m glad no trophy hunters knew about him because he was gorgeous. My area tends to attract people who actually hunt to eat because the land owners are strict about who they allow on their property. My dad probably had the same thought as you initially, enough that he was actually interested in sitting in my driveway for hours to see it for himself. He was always like that with any wildlife. He’d spend hours on his belly waiting for a special mountain goat to come by so he could get a perfect photo & I know he was checking on all the different wildlife’s health in most of the Black Hills until he went into assisted living in 2020. Because I grew up around him it’s not strange for me to meet someone online who takes a special interest & knows a lot. That’s “normal” so you’re cool. 🙂

I AGREE... AND THINK THAT IT IS ALL ABOUT CHOICE...IN HAVING A BEAUTIFUL SOUL...

Cry about it. Venison tastes good.

@@Slavesforsale1 You are heartless and petty.
