True but this is a vet and the deer was apparently being raised on a ‘deer farm’ for future harvesting. She may have gotten permission from the conservation department as well. I raised a ‘baby’ squirrel a few years back and spoke with the ‘head agent’ who gave me permission to raise it.

When I was a kid we had a fox squirrel that was “almost” a pet. She nested in a nail keg my father had put in a tall oak tree. We fed Ol’ Bess pecans and she would jump up on the screen door if she thought she wasn't getting her proper share. She had no problem sitting on our shoulder or knee to get her snacks but she objected to being touched otherwise. She raised a number of litters over the years, but none of her little ones were as tame as she was.
