Is this a residential neighborhood, and what does the deer smell like?

We had a similar case where someone cared for an injured bird which could no longer fly.

But because it was a ‘migratory’ bird, they were not permitted to keep it and Fish and Game seized it.

Then, because it was permanently injured and could not be released back into the wild, it was killed.

I thought that sort of stupidity existed only in my state; but evidently bureaucratic nonsense has spread elsewhere, too.

It's definitely not a subdivision-type neighborhood. Molalla is a small town (my brother-in-law and his family have lived there for years). The property that this family lives on is quite large.

I don't know what the deer smells like, but have not seen any reports of any complaints from neighbors.

Molalla is a rural community. This family probably has several acres of land.

[mockingbyrd]

the family lives on five acres. There were attempts to make a compromise but it involved not keeping the deer fenced in the property. The family objected because the deer would be exposed to coyotes and other wild animals but was perfectly safe where she was.

From what I saw on the news tonight, they are out in the country.

Go down to Bass Pro Shops and ask for deer scent.

[DanielLongo]

and what does the deer smell like?

Kind of smells like chicken.

Hold on..........sniff, sniff.........chicken...

[JustaDumbBlonde]

I’m not saying how I know ... but keeping a deer does not involve smells. Even if they are kept in a pen, droppings are similar to larger rabbit poo-poo and dry very quickly.

what does the deer smell like?

as animals go very little odor droppings small pellets that make good fertilizer for garden.

[mamelukesabre]

Are you asking about deer meat, or a live deer?

A live deer stinks really really bad. Way worse than a wet dog that never gets bathed. You can smell a live deer from 15 feet away or more. They stink about like a domestic sheep, sorta.

[Old Professer]

Deer have an acute olfactory sense but they are almost stone deaf.

It depends on what sort of rub you use on it and how long you cook it. Seriously, I live in a subdivision, and we have deer, coyotes, possums, raccons, rabbits and other wild critters on a frequent basis, and none of them are nearly as obnoxious as the pet dogs and the "good neighbors" who bring them to drop their feces on my lawn.
