My little doe was so tame, even my grandkid could play with her. YES THEY make great pets if bottle fed. but you will need a 8 ft fence.

I DO think bucks are not an animal most people should try to have......bucks are extremely dangerous (mainly during the rut)....more people are killed/injured by domestic or captive bucks than pretty much any other captive animal per year.



Well this statement is partly true. More people are kill by the WHITETAIL DEER than any other animal In the USA. Thats because they kill people when they jump in front of their CAR, TRUCK, and etc.

NOT deer attacks!!!!!!!!! The bottle feed bucks are the dangerous ones, not the ones that fear people.

So can deer not be castrated? Would that not prevent them from going in rut?

My uncle has deer, a few years ago someone came in and killed their two bucks, took the big one w/ them and left the little one to die from his injuries.

Yes they can, but they dont grow a rack either.

Now if not bottle fed they still fear people, and in most case will not attack.

Trouble with bottle fed bucks, they see you as a deer, and even wild bucks will fight their father. During the rut.

you must castrate before antlers start growing or they will have a perpetual antler in velvet that will continuously grow so gross and big and bleed easily. It is called perruque head:

We had a dear friend killed by a TAME deer in the rut. Male deer are dangerous plain and simple.

We had a friend killed by a Holstein/angus cross STEER last year. Had friends put in the hospital from milk cows too. Cattle are dangerous plain & simple.

I had a (female) horse that would run you down and try and trample you as well.
