[bot16]

[sartainja]

That is really nice that you feed them. I bet you really enjoy watching them.

[josephhammer01]

Amazing!!!!

[fresca9990211]

What a nice set of racks

[awesomemasterchief]

thats cool

[7redsox46]

Wow, thats crazy to have two nice bucks in your yard. We feed our deer in the winter but they are all female and wicked timmed.

[thinker58]

Wow, ok when that thing attacks you, film it, cuz man i will laugh and youve got it coming

[BabyBBB01]

WOW YOU HAVE 2 NICE BIG BUCKS , i would like to have one in my backyard

[johnsesk01]

If i saw that big one in the woods...

[sparkplug1100]

i would like to have that big one on my wall!!!!

[CowgirlAshley22]

I would be careful with those bucks during the rut.. They're crazy during the rut.. I knew someone who raised a buck from a baby.. But we never trusted him durning the rut. He got a little aggressive. Just be careful.

[MrJaws82]

that is beautiful,i love to hunt but i love nature.to get so close to wild things means a pure hart. they never let me that close anymore

[Dragon6578]

I was just waiting for him to just stab em with a knife.

[OutdoorsUnlimited44]

young deer will be a boone in couple years

[polaris798]

bang bang ill take both of them out no feeding ill feed them bullets

[varoneezy]

u shouldn't feed the deer, because then they will get used to humans and get shot by a hunter. unless theres no hunting i suggest u stop, their fear of humans is healthy

[ppshchik]

nice...I thought deers fear humans after all those deer hunting activities.

[DeerFriend2]

@ppshchik Love Conquers All, plus deer are smart. They know the difference from one person and another.

[LilMisQt93]

Watch my lil' cousing feed their new pet deer, Zoey! I posted the vid. up above...

[huntingdaworld]

ur in a sancuary arent ya

[DeerFriend2]

@huntingdaworld Yes! Its called GOD's country...

[GUAYABAFELIZ]

I really enjoyed watching your video. Thank you for sharing! What did you feed them? I personally don't like hunting. I don't understand the reasons why people kill such beautiful animals. In the past, they were food supply, but now, why to kill them?

[DeerFriend2]

Thanks for your comments: I was feeding them corn. We also feed them potatoes and apples. They will eat most any fruit or vegetable. They really like bananas, especially the peel.

[Crowridgeproductions]

@GUAYABAFELIZ for food!!!!!!!!!

[maryguk]

thats a huge rack considering how small the buck

[brenleyman]

how'd it feel to stand next to a 130 class buck?

[DeerFriend2]

It is very humbling and a nice feeling

[PatricioBridges]

It's amazing how easily they jump over that fence. Deer love apples.

[JessicaBby22]

Them are some big rack deer.i went hunting for youth hunt and shot a 12 point from 120 yards and it was fun in a peaceful place .i was hunting on 50 acre property.i wanted to know your deer atracant technechs.bye

[TraumaER]

you are a pos if you kill deer; go find something productive to do in society

[mychannel44]

that is productive u feed people and keep the population of the deer down so they don't get diseases and then they all will die

[TraumaER]

yeah i'm sure that makes a lot of sense....

Deer HUNTER!

[brenleyman]

If hunting stopped, what do you think will happen to the number of animals? I'll tell you, they'll sky rocket. There will be too many animals for predators to kill, there will be an increased strain on natural food supply, and the chance for the spread of disease will also go up. Now, owing to the fact we already f***ed up our ecosystem, why stop now? If it isn't broke, don't try to fix it.

[brenleyman]

obviously you are from a city or urban area and do not really involve yourself with the outdoors, so your ignorance is forgiven. Keep in mind that plants are living things too, and you are required to kill them in order to survive.

[TraumaER]

i still think we should see what will happen if we stopped hunting :)

[brenleyman]

I don't. If deer populations are allowed to get too high, the risk for the spread of disease becomes much greater, and with the increase of cases in CWD, that is way too serious a risk. Deer would start to go extinct all across the country. Don't believe me? Talk to a DNR official and he can give you some solid facts. Their job is to preserve our wildlife for future generations, and I don;t think that they would like to us about this.

[TraumaER]

Put it this way, dinosaurs had no problem without us killing them. They lived millions of years.

[brenleyman]

And were wiped out from either a massive meteor strike or a global pandemic.

[TraumaER]

No one knows that.

[brenleyman]

that's the general consensus. pretty damn weird for almost every animal on earth to just die for no good reason.

[josepolo950]

hOw can people shoot those beautiful creatures?

[brenleyman]

Contrary to the popular belief of most animal activists, the regulated hunting of deer is actually beneficial to deer herds in many areas. It decreases the strain on natural food supplies, making it easier for the animals to weather the winter.  It also removes animals carrying diseases from the natural ecology, keeping future generations healthy, as well as the health of other animals.

[txcatzz]

I know this is an old video but my husband & I are now feeding our deer on our small 6 acre property. Our first night with our game cam we had 23 photos (all bucks). We have since purchased more deer feed, minerals etc & are loving the photos we are getting. We hope to win their trust as you have DeerFriend2 & wouldn't think of killing them. They are beautiful peaceful animals & I am really excited to their "for now distant friend". Rockin P Ranch, TX

[DeerFriend2]

What we find works for us is to feed them on a regular basis at the same location. In the Spring when the does bring the young ones around they are the ones that we work with the most. Eventually they will learn to trust you and start eating closer and closer. Finally they will eat right out of your hands. Its a beautiful feeling.

[NoNiceNamesLeft]

@DeerFriend2 unfortunately they'll also depend on you. and when you're no longer there they'll probably starve.

[linkinparkfan5054]

@txcatzz ive been doing the same in my back yard for about a month and have only seen 2 doe and a fawn but i think its fun to watch them

[adfasffs]

yay! u guys are good folks! i wanna feed them too! i wonder what else they like? oats and bread maybe. do they like carrots?

[DeerFriend2]

They like most vegtables but will also eat bananas, especially ther peeling.

[VaanKrushk]

u are lucky to have deer friends my friend. Deers are beautiful animals...

[saintdeathangel]

that big buck has a very beutiful symmetrical rack and would be good any way to protect so he can breed more good genes like his to the population. Inbreeding mostly occurs with younger bucks and does and causes a cowhorn effect in the deer population in turn hunters are reluctant to hunt these inferior deer and only hunt superior deer thus ensuring survival for poor deer which helps the spread of CWD which cause poor counts of deer with increase in poaching!! US wildlife fact!

[saintdeathangel]

Couldn't you get some strong liquid non toxic die capsules and stain these deer and put some signs up to alert deer hunters to please not shoot these deer? Like I said ,I hunt but would not hunt near your property due to your feeding and caring for such deer....THAT WOULD BE TOTALLY UNETHICAL! Others might say I'm soft or whatever, then again those people can't get laid (excuse my french!) without another guy holding her down. They know who they are..POACHERS!

[saintdeathangel]

FUNNY ON THE DRUG COMMENT !! I am a serious deer hunter but what this person is doing is beautiful...but I worry if other hunters in the area will use this for an advantage to kill one of them...I pray not! There really is an ETHIC TO HUNTING and although there are those who hate us, we should behave as hunters in a way that at least gets us some respect as well as we respect people like this guy feeding wildlife and sharing the video for us to all enjoy!!!!!thanx for the beautiful video!!!

[DeerFriend2]

Thanks for your kind comment. Since we live with these deer and get to know them from the time they're fawns they learn to trust us. If anyone else comes around they take off like a jet. We do lose some during hunting season which is sad but we expect that and must live with it. Thanks for watching our video.

[AMWYESHUASAVESAMW]

Deer hunting must be a real challenge especially when the deer walk right up to you. A real man's sport. It must take years of honing your aiming skills to shoot a deer when it walks up to about three feet of you and looks up to you longingly to be fed. No doubt a real challenge.

[DeerFriend2]

You better find some different drugs buddy. This isn't a deer hunting video.

[AMWYESHUASAVESAMW]

I know deer friend. My response was for the hunter guy. I don't agree with their tactics of baiting to kill and I think hanging dead animal heads on the wall is in bad taste.

I like it when people like you take the time and effort to care for wildlife.

[NepheshAngel]

Thank you for standing up to the beautiful deer , you are an angel.

[usnguyy1988]

Good video.. I'd throw some feed out and wait there with my 12 gauge shotgun and see how many I could shoot before they made it out of the yard... That little one looks like good eatin.. Oh well bow season starts oct 4 so I will wait.. Where are you loacted?

[DeerFriend2]

People like you give sports hunting a black eye as well as a bad name. Get a life dude.

[usnguyy1988]

Cry me a river..

[bgster]

what a thrill that must be!

thanks!

[TierraC44]
