*It could be that this buck had its left rack tangled up in a fight or it could be in fact something more sinister. Since, there is no obvious symmetrical pairing which leads to alot of possibilities. I have actually found 2 bucks with only 1/2 a rack alive & grazing Carelessly. sometimes they heal sometimes infection sets in & eventually kills them. This one here seems to have a natural calm temperament or it may be traumatized from a previous battle. I own some property with some 300 white tail roaming freely on it in southwest texas. and if you run into one with 1/2 a rack then chances are you might find another bucks bones with an embedded 1/2 set not to far away. And all males including the female reindeer & the female caribou grow & shed new antlers each year. (Yes female) unless this buck is suffering from a left side skull infection, then nasty tick parasites..lyme disease & (CWD)..Chronic wasting disease can factor in & cause neurological & onset paralysis which could explain this bucks calm demeanor. I cant really speculate on a diagnosis for this beauty but only offer my personal knowledge & 1st hand experience.* ✌

While hunting one day towards the very end of the rut we came across a buck in a field. Standing up, head down to the ground, tongue hanging out. We literally walked up to it like these guys did. We thought it was a fake deer the game wardens put out as we were on a park boundary but we were on our private property side. The deer was totally exhausted from running does n breeding. We didn't think he was going to make it at all. I mean he was skin n bones but low n behold, a few weeks later there he was running does again as the next phase of the rut kicked in. These deer have a will to survive like no other. I've seen then out back in my yard with gashes in the back of their neck from either getting cut on a barb wire fence or gouged from fighting. I mean puss dripping down the side of their neck. He had to literally lean back on his hind legs to get down to the ground to eat. I put a small gravity feeder around a tree with high protein feed in it for him so he didnt have to bend down. Also we had like 4 snow storms back to back that year. I out out some regular hay with a full bail of 2nd cut western alfalfa. That buck would come in my yard, lay on the hay at dusk. Eat the western alfalfa and protein feed all night till sunrise. Then he would walk off into the wood line and bed down. He did that for 2 months. Then all of a sudden, there he was, standing up, bending his neck down to eat and walking around like nothing happened. We saved that deers life. Then I shot him the next year as a 155" 10 pointer. JUST KIDDING!! That deer is still around till this day. Hes about 6 1/2 now with a small 8pt rack maybe 120" but hes a fighter till the end. Also had yearling with busted hoofs hopping around out back eating. I feed these deer all winter. Give them about 30lbs of corn a day, 15lbs of high protein b16 feed and a 100lbs bail of western alfalfa on a pallet laying on the ground so it stays dry. I have about 30 to 40 deer out back every evening and not one of them ever thanked me for helping them through winter. Even tho they dont need my help, it still feels good to give back n help the 1 1/2 year olds make it through their 2nd winter especially if they were born very late last year and this years fawn make it through their 1st winter. I figure all the deer I killed hunting over the years, its the least I could do to give back yo them.

I wouldn't draw any conclusions from what we've seen here. CWD is a decent hypothesis, but he has a nice half rack for an animal with such a serious, chronic disorder of the nervous system. He could also have been stunned by a collision with a vehicle. Many vertebrates change dramatically during the mating and ungulates become different beasts altogether during the rut. He could have been badly beaten, concussed, dominated, and left exhausted by a fight. He might be struggling with an opportunistic infection following injury and depletion after a fight. There are lots of possibilities. I would want to have that animal's brain screened for prion disease if I had harvested it for consumption.

First impression is the buck isnt healthy and this may be so but is not necessarily the cause of this bucks seemingly strange behavior. I've had several similar encounters with bucks and does during the peak and directly after mating season or rut. I've had a buck follow beside me as I walked through the woods, also had a buck come up to me and push and poke me with his antlers not even knowing I was a human because I was standing in a scrape with doe scent and bucklure all around. They become kind of blind and lose their normal sense of fear or flight response and completely overwhelmed with breeding. That buck may have just been through a battle with another buck he has half a rack and his body looks fatigued and looks like he's all marked up from rut fighting. He finally got his wits and ran away in somewhat normal fashion..I think he was just a buck that got beat in the rut not really sick.

He didn't even know he was injured, never reacted to the blast, nothing; just stood there looking for a doe in heat ( that didn't exist ). I'm just glad he didn't try to mount me. LOL

Looks to me like he was intently listening for something. Maybe a rival buck? Maybe he lost his other antler from fighting? He seemed to run off just fine. And besides, let nature take its course. If it was sick, it will end up feeding a mountain lion or some other predator.

That was incredibly dangerous guys. It was a good way to ‘get dead.’ A buck deer is a very strong animal and they are very unpredictable. Just a few miles from our home, a man was killed by a buck that he had raised from a fawn. I’m thankful that you young fellows were not attacked by that deer and I hope you never try something like that that again. By the way, I was raised by an avid outdoorsman in the Louisiana swamps, hunting and fishing from the time I was a baby. I’ve seen deer go into attack mode more than once for no other reason than I was in what they considered ‘their’ territory. I wasn’t trying to approach them, they came after me. Thanks to the Grace of God and my Daddy’s teaching, I avoided injury and death. Not putting you down, just offering some advice.

From the looks of his side, chest and left hip, he's been in a fight. The antler loss, if it happened during the fight, would have happened anyway, eventually, as they lose them every year between late December and early April, depending on the latitude in which they live. It would be unusual for a buck to be in a fight with another buck that late in the year, the rut being done long before. It was not wise to approach a wild animal with a set of 'daggers' like that. Hunters have been killed by 'dead' bucks.
he isn't sick, He was in a fight and was exhausted. You can see once he starts recovering he begins to act normal. still a cool moment and his antler was most likely lost in the fight. deer also lose antlers every year to grow new ones
Good observation, animals can’t sweat so when they overheat they have to stop and remain still.
I knew something had to be not right with him. Good observation.
I see (in Europe though) a lot of discouraging acts from the young generation. I can not overstate how great you made me feel with your mature kindness.
In my years in the deer woods I have seen some incredible things. I’ve had a young fork horn buck walk up to me and lick my arm. I’ve had a young mother walk her fawn to a bush ten feet in front of me and bed it down and walk away while she looked back at me as if trusting me with her baby. It’s amazing how these creatures can act.
Amazing how humans can have these types of amazing experiences with living animals and still choose to go out into their homes and shoot them.

That's what I was thinking, absolutely no reaction to the first person petting him. I wonder what kind of effects cwd could possibly have on humans consuming the meat. Where I live now, I guess they want you to take the head in With a 6-inch section of the neck. So it can be tested for cwd. I woldnt want to waste the tag but it would be good to take it out so it doesn't infect others.
And what is cwd ?

@@raiderguy104 Hunters don't kill animals that trust them. It's an unspoken rule
No, wrong that's going to do the deer more harm than good because now the deer is going to trust the average hunter who wears camouflage like this guy was. So it's going to make the deer easier prey to the next hunter who comes by wearing camouflage instead of running from the hunter.
That deer forgot about the incident within the hour.
*It could be that this buck had its left rack tangled up in a fight or it could be in fact something more sinister. Since, there is no obvious symmetrical pairing which leads to alot of possibilities. I have actually found 2 bucks with only 1/2 a rack alive & grazing Carelessly. sometimes they heal sometimes infection sets in & eventually kills them. This one here seems to have a natural calm temperament or it may be traumatized from a previous battle. I own some property with some 300 white tail roaming freely on it in southwest texas. and if you run into one with 1/2 a rack then chances are you might find another bucks bones with an embedded 1/2 set not to far away. And all males including the female reindeer & the female caribou grow & shed new antlers each year. (Yes female) unless this buck is suffering from a left side skull infection, then nasty tick parasites..lyme disease & (CWD)..Chronic wasting disease can factor in & cause neurological & onset paralysis which could explain this bucks calm demeanor. I cant really speculate on a diagnosis for this beauty but only offer my personal knowledge & 1st hand experience.* ✌
What are the chances that when it was younger a human gave it food; and he is exhausted from fighting now so wonders about food from a human again?
Something not right with this buck. I don't know if it's the rut but if it is that is a dangerous game to play with a buck at that time. Plenty of videos and stories of men being attacked by a buck and some of them were killed.
While hunting one day towards the very end of the rut we came across a buck in a field. Standing up, head down to the ground, tongue hanging out. We literally walked up to it like these guys did. We thought it was a fake deer the game wardens put out as we were on a park boundary but we were on our private property side. The deer was totally exhausted from running does n breeding. We didn't think he was going to make it at all. I mean he was skin n bones but low n behold, a few weeks later there he was running does again as the next phase of the rut kicked in. These deer have a will to survive like no other. I've seen then out back in my yard with gashes in the back of their neck from either getting cut on a barb wire fence or gouged from fighting. I mean puss dripping down the side of their neck. He had to literally lean back on his hind legs to get down to the ground to eat. I put a small gravity feeder around a tree with high protein feed in it for him so he didnt have to bend down. Also we had like 4 snow storms back to back that year. I out out some regular hay with a full bail of 2nd cut western alfalfa. That buck would come in my yard, lay on the hay at dusk. Eat the western alfalfa and protein feed all night till sunrise. Then he would walk off into the wood line and bed down. He did that for 2 months. Then all of a sudden, there he was, standing up, bending his neck down to eat and walking around like nothing happened. We saved that deers life. Then I shot him the next year as a 155" 10 pointer. JUST KIDDING!! That deer is still around till this day. Hes about 6 1/2 now with a small 8pt rack maybe 120" but hes a fighter till the end. Also had yearling with busted hoofs hopping around out back eating. I feed these deer all winter. Give them about 30lbs of corn a day, 15lbs of high protein b16 feed and a 100lbs bail of western alfalfa on a pallet laying on the ground so it stays dry. I have about 30 to 40 deer out back every evening and not one of them ever thanked me for helping them through winter. Even tho they dont need my help, it still feels good to give back n help the 1 1/2 year olds make it through their 2nd winter especially if they were born very late last year and this years fawn make it through their 1st winter. I figure all the deer I killed hunting over the years, its the least I could do to give back yo them.

Could it be, that the reason the deer has that "lost in the headlight look", is because it recently lost its antler to another larger deer in a rutting struggle? Suffering acute head trauma isn't out of the question, and it may take one maybe two days to "snap" out of it. The equivalent of a concussion left him very dazed. Just sayi'n ....

I have personally seen on 2 different occasions from CWD. May sound silly but both were looking left and would spin slowly left circles. The other had waded in a cattle pond from the fever I assume and did the same thing, walked in only left turn tight circles. This one was looking left, maybe CWD??
Thought so too. And the highstepping

Deer is not sick. It was in shock after what must have been a long fight. As you see in the end, he starts acting like a proper deer again in the end once recovered.
He probably just got done fighting and is reviving himself. He did look lethargic at the beginning them started snapping outta it.
tonkatoytruck it looked like wtf am i doing here ..oh shit! Humans!
Oliver North is probably a liberal
And you saw this fight? You know the lost antler was from a RECENT fight THAT day? Couldn't have been from weeks or months ago?
No, don't think so. Wasting is usually with the animal trodding in continual circles, not paying attention. This deer looked nearly hypnotized then it wore off. Stunned is a better word. Anyone here watch "North Woods Law"? Saw a moose with wasting. The ranger killed him right on camera.

I wouldn't draw any conclusions from what we've seen here. CWD is a decent hypothesis, but he has a nice half rack for an animal with such a serious, chronic disorder of the nervous system. He could also have been stunned by a collision with a vehicle. Many vertebrates change dramatically during the mating and ungulates become different beasts altogether during the rut. He could have been badly beaten, concussed, dominated, and left exhausted by a fight. He might be struggling with an opportunistic infection following injury and depletion after a fight. There are lots of possibilities. I would want to have that animal's brain screened for prion disease if I had harvested it for consumption.
Sorry but CWD affects mature bucks more often than others. Because having a mature antler means little to discounting CWD.
Not cwd that boys wore out from chasing all the girls and fighting.
Like others have said. That buck is either sick or just is stunned that he got his ass kicked fighting and lost his left side antler. Cool vid. Thanks for sharing.

@@lookingoverhell3448 wouldn’t mind that
That could have been a bad ending.. He could have pawed y'alls ass.. Very blessed!
First impression is the buck isnt healthy and this may be so but is not necessarily the cause of this bucks seemingly strange behavior. I've had several similar encounters with bucks and does during the peak and directly after mating season or rut. I've had a buck follow beside me as I walked through the woods, also had a buck come up to me and push and poke me with his antlers not even knowing I was a human because I was standing in a scrape with doe scent and bucklure all around. They become kind of blind and lose their normal sense of fear or flight response and completely overwhelmed with breeding. That buck may have just been through a battle with another buck he has half a rack and his body looks fatigued and looks like he's all marked up from rut fighting. He finally got his wits and ran away in somewhat normal fashion..I think he was just a buck that got beat in the rut not really sick.
Matt Vis Thanks for breaking it down, I'm not a hunter & I had alot of questions that needed answered, I think your theory makes sense & I also think it's so awesome that you have encountered the same kind of episode....truly amazing man, dam! Dam! Wow!
Matt Vis - Hard to see in the video, but looks like he might have shed the right side already. It looks like a depression on that side maybe? Hard to tell!!
You are 100% correct. During the rut, a bucks brain function is consumed by the need to breed. They can't process normal fear at the same time. I've seen bucks do some strange things during the rut. I had on walk right up to me after I hit it with a grazing shot from my black powder rifle, flesh wound only. He didn't even know he was injured, never reacted to the blast, nothing; just stood there looking for a doe in heat ( that didn't exist ). I'm just glad he didn't try to mount me. LOL
rutting is adangerous season
Hunted my whole life and not seen anything like that. You covering yourself in doe pee?
deer is like fuck it don't shoot me, let's be friends
At first I was convinced it was a full mount taxidermy! That's krazy
If he were a decoy his eye would not be moving and it's remarkable that these 2 boy's got to touch him
Looks like he recently shed one side, in which case he probably wasn't fighting and has EHD or CWD, but if he was fighting and that hole side broke off down to the burr it probably rang his bell really good for a little bit.. Takes tremendous force to snap a base that big and the shock is unloaded at the break, in this case just millimeters from his brain. .
Some masher buck has ripped this guys antler off in some titanic death struggle, broke his will, and now he lets men approach him, a picture of defeat. Hes probably delirous from sleep deprivation as well, plus maybe someHidden puncture wounds from antler tips Deer are so damn quirky, you can spend your life observing them and they will still suprise you with their behavior. I dont think this buck is sick i just think hes had a country ass kicking and no sleep for a week.
Totally agree! Some of these people commenting have no idea about deer or really any wildlife.... I've been hunting for 41 years now and I'm still learning new things about them.
The way he was looking in the forest tells me that something was stalking him. He lost all fear of humans for a minute.
That a buck who's mind is on fighting and boinking! Very dangerous!
Head trauma, and fear of something else. The buck was focused on something out of view, that he was much more afraid of than the humans. Must be something dreadful to make him choose hunters over...whatever.
I like this theory.

Thomina Duncanson I too like this theory, just think, the dad & boys may be close to a witch or ghost... Sorry, I believe in that type of stuff...
+Tommy 1 C. -Given that the USA Military training manual for the Northwest covers Sasquatch in the fauna section of “Native Flora and Fauna of the Pacific Northwest”, one does wonder how many Sasquatch exist, and where...could be what so riveted the buck’s attention. 🤔
It's suffering from a disease is all. It's sick. Those ones you put down immediately and dispose of the animal properly. So it doesn't infected more
He wasn’t worried about you what so ever. More worried about the 8 foot hairy Bigfoot that just chased him 4-5 miles after ripping off his horn. Interesting.
Or the Dogman
Dont forget batboy!
Bubbleboy got him!
Lucky for the deer, the boys were hunting pheasant that day.
The deer obviously understood English and got the hell outta there.👌🤣🤷 #smartidea
That deer could have put a real hurting on them if wanted to. You two got lucky.
Chronic waist disease, sad but unfortunately common in over populated areas
Deer have been acting very spooked in Texas lately. Coming to people and starting in direction they run from. Never have I seen so many so clear as the past couple months.
I agree, I think he's sick or something. Not being able to smell you and seemed totally out of it. Great experience though.
deer looks scared shitless
Their camo clothes were so good that the deer didnt notice them for awhile
🔫ya, right! 😎
“He’s got blood all down his face” Deer 🦌: OH 💩 THEY SPOTTED ME
HIGHLY, Unusual! ! ! It seemed to be “LOOKING” for something else that it feared more than men! ! ! A bear? A coyote, will run these poor dear to deaath!
So unusual!! so enjoyable to view kindness from what may have been 'hunters', hoping the deer moved on to safety.
Looks to me like he was intently listening for something. Maybe a rival buck? Maybe he lost his other antler from fighting? He seemed to run off just fine. And besides, let nature take its course. If it was sick, it will end up feeding a mountain lion or some other predator.
chizmo7 Ahhh, ok, true very true...
Hi
Deer shed their antlers every couple of years, Google it.
@@wizardofahhhs759 Deer drop their antlers late December in the North through March and April in the South. Although this can very depending on if the rut comes in early, the weather, food availability, and other factors.
chizmo7 m
With that broken antler it looks like the deer's been in more wars than these guys.
Wow, that Stan Winston does wonderful work!
That deer has the brain disease. That's how they act' it makes zombies outta them. Sad.
Petting a wild deer! You should feel very privileged and cherish the moment!
The amount of wildlife professionals on KZhead blows my mind. I have only read one comment of all these that got this right.
that deer is sick and won't live for long
TheIrfanxz44 very true. A healthy deer would certainly not be that docile. It truly is sick.
That deer is tame, not sick!
Tigerdad2015 dude it's not looking at the guys even after they start touching it, and in the video they say it looks weak. It's obviously not doing well
That deer looks tame lol
If the deer was sick, what would or could it be sick from to make it act this way?? It originally didn't look at the guy who touched it first.
Get him some beer and a sandwich, geez.
A beautiful animal, this shows even with hunters they know fair game and when an animal is in desperate need of help.
Yessir
The deer is sick
God please help and save that poor deer thank you Jesus
I know, I hate seeing any of gods creations dying or sick like that, may god heal that precious deer.
currently now in December 2017 its 2 weeks of rifle season where I live.. so pray harder. Lol
AdmiralOddSock Stupid! I kill deer too but that doesn't mean I want them to suffer.
Amen Teddy.
go made disease...why the hell would he change his pettiness now
ooh that buck must be sick.
Well, he'll loose the other and grow another rack. Beautiful creature. ❤
Smart deer. He was looking at them in the eyes. Letting them pet him and then ran off. Great way to get then not to shoot him. Brave brave deer.
He was luring you into Sasquatch’s trap.
Was about to say he is getting hit with that infrasound.
Thank you for Not harming him any furthet5
Just thought it was Darrel petting him as he day dreamed about some hot tail he was chasing.
He is consintrating on something else,big time!!!
I've seen deer act like that At my hunting camp. Must be Sick with CWD. Or something else.
My first thought was he’d been in a fight, but after thinking more on the matter I bet he came into contact with a truck and got the worst of it. Either way the boy was in shock and perhaps even had a traumatic brain injury. I glad you didn’t harvest him.
That is an old war horse who has seen his last rut fight, and will not be around next spring.
Thank you very much for beautiful video
give um a snickers
It's sad to see an animal so sick as this. It still must have been an amazing experience to be able to do that.
Not sick. Had one antler - so he is shedding. But not sick-just busy with his thing.
i dont think he was sick
He had been fighting in the rut. Probably lost the one antler in the fight. He was exhausted.
That was incredibly dangerous guys. It was a good way to ‘get dead.’ A buck deer is a very strong animal and they are very unpredictable. Just a few miles from our home, a man was killed by a buck that he had raised from a fawn. I’m thankful that you young fellows were not attacked by that deer and I hope you never try something like that that again. By the way, I was raised by an avid outdoorsman in the Louisiana swamps, hunting and fishing from the time I was a baby. I’ve seen deer go into attack mode more than once for no other reason than I was in what they considered ‘their’ territory. I wasn’t trying to approach them, they came after me. Thanks to the Grace of God and my Daddy’s teaching, I avoided injury and death. Not putting you down, just offering some advice.
that video was amazing it made my day thank you for sharing
This looks like an ending to a movie where a dear is rescued by humans and grows up the rest of its life with 1 horn and goes through a lot of amazing and harsh stuff and something happens to its owner so it got free and this is the ending scene.
Ya Manz Kundo And then it bites a human and the zombie plague starts. ...
Red Faux except the antler will grow back
Sad thing is that I would probably enjoy that movie
Ya Manz Kundo deer loose their horns every year and then grow them back
Elliot from Open Season!
I hope you washed your hands after petting that deer. He's obviously sick.
Sheep Dog he's not sick. He just lost an antler and could be in shock
Was thinking I hope he washed his hands BEFORE he touched the deer.
most likely lost a rut fight and was just still overwhelmed with the hormones racing through him and with all the adrenalin too, probably just was "Shocked" blind.
Baer Grills? Oh, sick deer.
OMG at first I thought it was a decoy but nope it's vary real ,, thumbs up ,,
You have been blessed by the nature
Wow, so many experts who can diagnose by watching a video. I find that amazing. It's a good thing that the people who found this deer didn't make the same diagnosis and kill it. Animals, every now and then, can do some unheard of strange things. I'm convinced this was one of those times. I say, just enjoy the moment.
That deer just drank some Jack Daniels!
*The deer is like,* "Maybe if they meet me, they won't spend so much time trying to kill me..."
That deer is so lucky you guys didn't kill it.
Zombie deer...
Or the first stages of rabies... He is obviously sick.
I would like to know what the deer was locked on and looking at for most of the time. People might not be the most dangerous thing to the deer at that time
Have heard of deer coming close to humans when Bigfoot is around. Look how intently the deer is looking back.
From the looks of his side, chest and left hip, he's been in a fight. The antler loss, if it happened during the fight, would have happened anyway, eventually, as they lose them every year between late December and early April, depending on the latitude in which they live. It would be unusual for a buck to be in a fight with another buck that late in the year, the rut being done long before. It was not wise to approach a wild animal with a set of 'daggers' like that. Hunters have been killed by 'dead' bucks.
