Some Deer Whisperers are taking precautions to warn deer hunters that they are targeting a domesticated/semi domesticated deer. I would like to think that hunters, or @ least MOST hunters would not take out a deer that is obviously spoken for.
The times are changing for sure like our deer are becoming communal pets. For the farmers out here that own a quarter or half section of land(160-320 acres) they have herds of their own, most likely multi-generational herds. That's WHY their acreage is posted NO HUNTING. The links below well illustrate the changing nature that deer are exhibiting towards us humans.

Kitchen Window Wildlife(above) is a YouTube site that chronicles the life of an orphaned fawn from day 1 to current. The couple was out for an evening walk & spied a dead doe on the street. They checked the corpse for milk & she was wet. The next evening they were out again for a walk & a fawn started trailing them, all the way home no less! The folks KNEW that the little guy was on his own & the REAL LIFE story of Bambi started with this exemplary couple. It's Americans like these BIG hearted folks that give me hope in my fellow Americans!
Take care, till next time!
