—”Sounds like somebody’s pet deer. Or escaped from a zoo.”
My wife worked for a government agency that dealt with such things.
The first thing they do is to call all known locals to check their herds.
An elk sighting in a local park, but none was reported missing so they sent a biologist, who found tracks and scat.
He said it is usually a male looking for love and will follow railroad tracks for hundreds of miles.
We are in northern Illinois and he was a LONG way from any elk range.

We just have mule deer and elk here in Colorado. I can’t remember if we have any whitetail deer.

People have hunting properties stocked with weird stuff and sometimes they escape.
Saw a huge dead Elk on the interstate one day.
We don’t have Elk here….at least not anymore.

Yep. The deer get smaller as you go further south. When you get down to Florida, they are the size of a large dog.

One of the quirks of nature. Winters are mild and food plentiful so there’s no reason to bulk up for a long and brutal winter. Also the larger the animal the more heat is retained, which is good up north but can cause heat exhaustion in the warmer climes.
Smaller deer tend to successfully reproduce in the south.
Generalities of course.

They’re reintroducing them in lots of the East. Some of the herd that used to wander into my mom’s yard was trapped, and sent to the Great Smoky Mountains.

You don’t have timber rattlers where you are? We have them in most of rural PA.

My wife and I lived for a few years in the middle of the woods in Cook Springs, AL. It was quite honestly like an extended episode of Green Acres. Our nearest neighbors were about half a mile away and had a donkey that constantly got loose and mosied up and down our road. One night I get a picture of the donkey on a game camera tearing into some corn I put out for deer. It must have been really good corn because the donkey was sporting a huge erection while he ate.
Then there were the sovereign citizens that lived down the road and always kept life interesting, and then there was the summer when an escaped emu kept poking around the woods near our house.
Like Green Acres, I did not have one experience with the utilities, water, trash, internet, etc. that didn't border on the Sam Drucker/Mr. Haney/ Hank Kimbell level of absurd surrealism.

What is that thing, some kind of amphibian?
