Something you don't see every day: Coming back into my neighborhood around noon I saw what I thought was a guy out walking his dog. As I got closer I realized it wasn't a dog, it was a deer with an orange collar (but not on a leash), running ahead of him. I managed to get past them without creating any road kill, but I still have no idea what was going on there.

Tree huggers...They never learn until a rutting buck slams his antler through their face and into their brain.

My grandad had a friend with a pet deer, tame as can be. Small problem. He fed the deer cigarettes, thought it was funny. Had to go to the hospital for a few days and came back, place trashed, and it attacked him. Had to eat him. Turns out nicotine acts like cocaine to deer, and he was in serious withdrawal. 
Maybe this guy is thinking orange collars will keep hunters from shooting it, like in this article:

The problem here, that I see, is that NC doesn't have a similar tracking program going on. Which means any hunters in NC who see something like this in the wild probably won't have any issues with shooting the deer anyway.
EDIT:
Since deer are illegal as pets in NC (I believe), seems to me that this person has trained the deer to be approachable to within can't-miss-if-I-tried range.

I think a pet deer would be awesome...I think for it to be a good pet you would have to raise it from a fawn, and would probably need to be a doe. If I had a doe as a pet you best believe I'd take it hunting with me when it went in heat, tie it to a tree 40 yrds away, and wait for the big boy...Is that so wrong?
