Believe it or not, this is an everyday occurrence in Colorado. There are places there that the deer and elk no longer have any fear of humans. You can drive up to the Bridge in Canyon City and feed big bucks out of your hand all day long.

That's pretty cool!!! Like feeding a herd of cats !

That's a pretty awesome video of the lady feeding those mule deer, but a dangerous situation for her. Sad part is if one of those Bucks attack that lady (for what ever reason) then the fish and wildlife folks will have to come out and euthanize those deer. If she feels the need to feed them, do so away from her house. Place a feeder out in an area so you can watch them and enjoy. She really isn't doing those deer a favor at all.

 

Cool video TDR and thanks for posting it. I enjoyed watching it.

Now the game wardens will probably slaughter them as they no longer fear humans.

Yep, look what happened to that young Bull Elk in East Tennessee with that photographer. It was the photographer that needed euthanized, not that young elk. He didn't know no darn better.

We got the same deal here on the mountain. The main retirement area here is Fairfield Glade, where old yankees come to die. It borders Catoosa WMA, and they not allowed any hunting on the property since it opened back in the '60's. The end result of this is the biggest buck I've seen in Tn. was chasing a doe down the fairway of the 9th hole on the golf course at 9am. The folks are up in arms about the critters eating up their gardens and flower beds, and now the bears and mountain lions are starting to line up for their shot at resort living.

They've heard that retired yankee's are real tasty. Wait till they find out that most have already soured.
