“We”... Don’t you mean “Some strangers were in Glacier National Park... and I’m using their video as click bait for my website”?
Or did you and your family actually experience this encounter?
deer need salt
Butter and garlic, and a light cheese sauce.
Oh, wait, they need salt to live.
The need other stuff to be et.
That was wife, sister and brother-in-law. This summer in July.
Adorable. Clearly not the deer’s first rodeo. Probably licks/has licked other people as well. Hope their arms are clean.
Moi?
Sending ravening deer out into the unsuspecting populace?
I would never do that, honest!
Besides, it’d be in New York state if I did, and nobody would notice for quite some time.

Had a similar experience except with a dear.
Rabies?
only known habitat of carnivorous deer.
When I first got to Elmendorf AFB outside of Anchorage I saw a tree rat taking a chicken drumstick up a tree.
It was licking salt off of your arms. It means you need a shower.
Hopefully you checked for ticks. These prolific animals are often infested with them. Some people have seem “Bambi” too many times.
Peanut butter sandwich stealing bastards! Blam!!!
Awwww. How cute:)
There was the time I was there, at Glacier National Park, and offered to take a German fellow through the park, who was visiting the USA. He was determined to see a Grizzly Bear, which I advised to be very careful about getting anywhere near one.
We headed up “Going-to-the-Sun Road” on the way to Logan Pass, and just about the time we got there, the Visitor Center had closed down for the day. Part of the trail system was closed off, because of Grizzly Bear sightings ... and that was the “invitation” that this German fellow wanted. He headed right down the closed off trail to get a picture of the Grizzly. I hung back a ways, with binoculars, to see if I was going to have to call the paramedics. We saw the Grizzly out about three hundred yards or so. It was a rolling hills plain ... crest and valley ... so that when you went down into the valley (very shallow), you couldn’t see over the next rise. The grizzly was over the next rise for this fellow. I saw he was coming up right on him, so I yelled to move over so he wouldn’t be bear food.
The bear was half-blind, as grizzlies are, and he was apparently not upwind from him. He came up about 20 yards from him, then threw rocks at the bear, so the bear would stand up ... and so he could get a good picture. The bear stood up, took a sniff of the air and bolted, like a rocket, out of there. Fortunately, he didn’t head for the German ... LOL ... The German headed out of there at the same time, like a rocket, the other direction. It was hilarious to see ... until we both got caught by the rangers being in prohibited territory.
We were held in place, until the Park Ranger could come down and talk to us. He told us that a Grizzly can outrun a galloping horse. That kind of silenced the German, when he said he could run pretty fast ... :-) ...
We both got tickets for violating park regulations ... and after that we left. I only got to within about 100 yards of the Grizzly, while the German got to within 20 yards. I felt like 100 yards was too close ... LOL ...
I was way younger than my sibs, they were mostly in their teens when I was born. My sis used to take me to the zoo and way back then (59?) she fed the bears through the bars of their cage with 6 1/2 oz Cokes.
Salt on your skin.
