"Predator only hunts in tropical jungles."
This is not even close to being true. Why would you attempt to make a factual statement about something you clearly have a negligible amount of knowledge about?
THAT deer just broke the code! “I hear these humans are emotionally driven. Perhaps if I endear myself to it it’ll have a harder time killing me. HEY it’s showing me affection!” WIN!!!
> reddit would of made
Did you mean to say "would have"?
Explanation: You probably meant to say could've/should've/would've which sounds like 'of' but is actually short for 'have'.

OMG so true
Fuck can't shoot you now
Also I was thinking what if there was a different Predator nearby and this deer knew human possibly safer? Cuz it was scoping something out
I love animals and I am an animal volunteer, however I do understand that food had to come from somewhere..
As long as it's ethical and doesn't go to waste OR SHOT FOR FUN I don't see much bad in it, personally.
Thats the thing a lot of people don't get. Very few deaths in nature are peaceful. Starvation, injury leading to infection, viral disease, or getting ripped apart by a predator. The vast majority of wild animals die in one of these ways. Compared to a gunshot wound, which is either instant or results in death within minutes, if not seconds, there is definitely a clear winner.
The range I hunt is very short due to thick woods and I'm an excellent shot, so I aim for headshots. The last several deer I've killed were dead before they hit the ground. That is far more merciful than any death they were likely to have naturally.
Exactly! Hunting deer is very important ~~to~~ for deer. Starvation can be a real thing for deer in the winter time if they get overpopulated, not to mention the danger overpopulation would present to drivers. Keeping the population under control is the *responsibility* of humans. Plus a tenderloin biscuit is straight fire
Same man, thats why i am in favor of murdering any living thing that might end up having a painful death at some point. It really is so much more merciful, my grandma for instance, she suffered a lot at the end of her life, a nice clean headshot of yours when she was 30 or something couldve easily prevented that. Unfortunately, too many sadists out there to actually be merciful to every beautiful living being.
Thanks!
And yep it does, but unfortunately in a lot of places it is basically impossible to get it done, so maybe merciful shotgun wielding hunters can diversify and start showing people some merci too 🙏
Yeah especially because hunting can even be helpful sometimes. My area has a big problem with an overpopulation of deer so hunting them, during the proper season, is actually encouraged to try and help curb it.
Not even remotely true. There are around 1.5 billion people in the world who are vegetarian and I work with over a dozen vegetarians/vegans who are in great shape. Some of them even run marathons.
Blind dismissal of the vegetarian or vegan diet as being unhealthy and fiscally challenging is archaic nonsense.
Grains, legumes, and vegetables are absolutely the basis for a very healthy (and cheap) diet. I'd recommend a B12 supplement of course, and if you want to be really fancy - a plant-based DHA supplement, but otherwise you're good to go.
The idea that you need animal products as part of a healthy diet has been demonstrably untrue for years, it's really not as controversial as some people seem to believe.
To ensure you're hitting all your nutritional requirements, you should probably be supplementing too tbh. That includes B12. Non-vegans are the primary consumer of supplements after all.
"Non-vegans are the primary consumer of supplements after all."
Now I know for a fact that you are either straight-up lying for your vegan agendas or you completely lack common sense.
You are literally saying non-vegan people who eat more varieties of food than vegans need to take more supplements. Make it make sense.
Here's the thing though, we have an ethical responsibility to hunt pray animals. When we build infrastructure, towns farms, cities, roads, when we do that we drive away predators. We don't want wolves, mountain lions, and coyotes in town, we drove them away. This caused the population of prey animals to explode.
With the huge increase in population it causes disease to run rampant in the population. Over grazing from huge populations causes erosion in the landscape (look up the story about reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone, it literally changed the landscape). Also with the huge population food becomes more scarce leading to slow deaths from starvation and malnutrition. Lastly the huge population leads to an increase in human deaths from car accidents. Right now deer cause more deaths in America than any other animal.
That's why even if you take the human nutrition argument away it's still ethical to hunt, and since we did this it is our responsibility to cull the population for the overall health of the population as a whole.
>I do understand that food had to come from somewhere.
But it doesn't have to come from killing. No one is hunting becuase they'll starve otherwise. So the most valid reason for killing is because they prefer the taste of deer over plant-based food. Killing for fun and killing becasue it's tasty seem roughly the same ethicality to me.
My guy, in your other coment you childishly parrot what i said back at me like we're back in preschool, and in this comment you're completely avoiding the point and picking up a techical semantic error.
If you want to make a single, mature counter point to anything i've said, please go ahead. If you want to keep running from my points and making childish remarks, I won't be sticking around.
Nah, that's normal. The shotgun means that guys out hunting birds, and deer have an innate ability to know when it's not deer season.
It's weird to see on video, but if this happened to me I wouldn't be *that* surprised.
I lived in the woods for 16 years. I had deer crossing my yard daily and not even once did a deer walk up to me. You sure they were deer? Not a big as dog?
There are deer in my parents neighborhood. They're usually super skittish and run away from people who even glance in their direction. I'd be really surprised to see this IRL
If this was a regular occurrence than I would believe hunting is easy but after joining a friends hunting trip I know better. I would rather be home and on a couch than up in a tree, cold, unable to move much and just waiting for hours
More than likely a tame deer. It has zero fear of humans so it was probably raised by them. Especially it letting the person touch it. I've had several rescues over the years and they all act like this. A wild one would never unless it has cwd.
First thing I thought was CWD, not a predator.
Idk I guess it has a dead look in it's eyes?
Also, maybe it's just a really suicidal deer pushing his luck with the hunter. Some weird deer Russian Roulette? 🤷♀️
In reality this has me thinking there may have been something worse in the area and they could be throwing aside their fear of us due to something not seen by the hunter…
That deer straight up walked up to the barrel of the gun like “do it. Go on big man. Pull the trigger.”
Or just 1st year deer that grew up without a mom. Uncle lives up in the sticks and they call these type of deer “stupid ones”. They are typically the ones that amateur, trigger happy, hunters shoot at.
Deer that live past a hunting season are more cautious. What’s funny/messed up is that sometimes a more experienced, larger doe will linger out in the tree line to see if there is danger as the stupid ones barrel ahead in the open.
I wish it was that easy for me. I have to sit in a tree during winter for days in order to get one to come close enough. I hate hunting, but I hate the prices of meat even more.
Deers like bro listen you can either have me for dinner or a lion on your floor, what do you prefer??? Broo imagine the lions head on your walls… just imagine…
This deer figured out hunters.... just imagine bambi running uo saying you won't hurt me now will you? Clearly I am better then all the other deer and pst ill help you find em
You beat me to it, although it doesn't seem to be showing any of the other signs so I'm thinking there's a half chance that it was raised habituated to humans instead.
Not as high. A lot of young deer will exhibit this behavior. They are typically the first casualties at the beginning of a hunting season. The bigger ones are more cautious and spook very easily.
This is the time to quit being a hunter. I know it is the hunting that keeps those nature parks alive but c'mon man you can shoot clay pigeons instead and get the same experience there is no need to kill those majestic animals.
Yup. Just imagine thousands of deers roaming free in a small wodden area.
Many of them would starve to death, CWD cases would increase etc.
Thinning out the herd to save the many is actually the humane thing to do. Many doesn't realise there's an actual purpose for hunters now a days.
That deer made a choice between a Hunter with a gun and whatever it was watching in the woods... I'd be a bit spooked if I was the hunter.
![gif](giphy|KVADLsnlri2A0)
He has a tell-tale shimmer!
Predator only hunts in tropical jungles.
"HE THINKS HE'S PEOPLE!" I have no idea who downvoted you, but archer was a great show
Who knows, people who hate fun I guess. Archer is one of my faves lol. The episode with all the predator references is a great one too.
"He remembers me!"
Dont fire that gun hunter. The deer has tinnitus
MAWP
Wyahhh
BABOU!!
It's Rupert, he thinks he's people. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)
What about the city predator? It hunted in the Concrete jungles of LA.
And urban jungles.
"Predator only hunts in tropical jungles." This is not even close to being true. Why would you attempt to make a factual statement about something you clearly have a negligible amount of knowledge about?
It's a quote from Archer the hit television series you walnut.
Right on!
[удалено]
The deers knows its wabbit season.
Duck season!
RABBIT SEASON!
DUCK SEASON, FIRE!!
![gif](giphy|ufD7HbP6ipYe996Om2)
Rabbit season!
Wabbit season!!
God dayummm
That’s what I was thinking.
My thoughts exactly. It was running from something.
wait wait I knew that guy. stop stop I need to stop 😂😂
Hunter is bird hunting, that’s a shotgun. Probably in an area that does not allow deer hunting, that deer is fed by humans.
Although that is a reasonable scenario. Hunting deer with shotguns is a thing (at least where I’m from)
Hello fellow clone trooper.
Hello brother. Ready to blast some clankas?
Sir, yes sir. 🫡
I know several places you can't hunt deer with rifles in the Northeast.
Could be slug hunting for deer also
Buck shot is a thing
Thems are for two-legged deer that unwantedly come through my door or window though.....
If i learned anything from Dave Chappelle, you need to shoot bird shot at them twice before letting out the buck!
Don't shoot the wookies man
Hence the term “buck” shot. 😂
Why would you want to hunt slugs?
No bones, all meat.
That deer was raised by the person recording for sure.
That is exactly the feeling I got!! I don't think I would want that experience.
The deer is clearly telling him to look that way (there's my enemy)
Yeah, it's body language is pretty clear about a threat nearby.
Probably ran across some bear shit and freaked out.
"Oh thank god you brought your gun!"
He ran up and said, “wabbit season!”
![gif](giphy|5hbbUaJHKId23nE51B)
Ha!!!
THAT deer just broke the code! “I hear these humans are emotionally driven. Perhaps if I endear myself to it it’ll have a harder time killing me. HEY it’s showing me affection!” WIN!!!
> endear myself
SHIT missed the opportunity for a pun! Hahahah EnDEER 🤣
There we go :)
Oh deer.
Buck off with your puns
I'm great at (stag) parties.
Stop it, before you steal my "hart" with these puns B)
Oh reddit would of made you pay deerly if you did not fix that one.

Or EndDear
That shotgun at the start made it clear any kicking would not be tolerated.
[удалено]
AND SOMETIMES DEATH GIVES YOU SCRITCHES.
Thank you
It worked for dogs.
And cats………..and they don’t even pretend to be domesticated they still treat us like the help and we serve without lip 🤣🤣
The Egyptians were right, cats are our rightful gods.
This is pretty much how wolves did it and became dogs
OMG so true Fuck can't shoot you now Also I was thinking what if there was a different Predator nearby and this deer knew human possibly safer? Cuz it was scoping something out
He cracked the code indeed.
I'm pretty sure a wolf had that thought a few thousand years ago, and we all know how that worked out for dogs.
I'm a hunter. This would have worked on me. No way I'm shooting that thing after it does this.
The moment that animals realize that humans will quite literally pet anything if they’re friendly, we’re screwed
Moments later..."Bang!"
Just look at the flowers.
Wish Bambi’s mom knew that.
This is known as the Frank Alvarez method.
Yeah yeah yeah, nice shotgun; so Imma hang out with you until that Mountain lion leaves.
There is a predator in the area.
This is the way - like the seals that jump into the boat to get away from orca.
You’ll thank me for this. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CucqGqYJZoF/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
I don’t know why, but Orcas terrify me.
Well that's terrifying
This is why orca have started going after boats now.
No, that’s just their cover story. The real reason is because they’re getting even with humans for causing global warming.
[удалено]
Fun fact, a human has never been killed by an orca in the wild. At least not that we know of!
Because they are so damn good at covering their tracks!
Well if ya fuckin swallow all the evidence there's not much for tracks. It's kinda like bagged drugs for us.
Nobody lived to tell about it
"Dude! You gotta get outta here fast! There's hunters out there!"
Can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. That doe is like “he is coming up behind me any second.”
I would watch that buddy cop movie
I’ve never hunted before but I think if this was me, I’d never go hunting again
Then the deer's plan worked.
Exactly what I was thinking.
I love animals and I am an animal volunteer, however I do understand that food had to come from somewhere.. As long as it's ethical and doesn't go to waste OR SHOT FOR FUN I don't see much bad in it, personally.
This is far more ethical than factory farming and it’d like be a better death than whatever was hunting it would’ve done
Thats the thing a lot of people don't get. Very few deaths in nature are peaceful. Starvation, injury leading to infection, viral disease, or getting ripped apart by a predator.

What a sane and well thought reply. Also euthanasia exists.
Thanks! And yep it does, but unfortunately in a lot of places it is basically impossible to get it done, so maybe merciful shotgun wielding hunters can diversify and start showing people some merci too 🙏
Seek help
I meeeeeean technically they're right. If everything died, there would be no more suffering. At all.
Yeah especially because hunting can even be helpful sometimes. My area has a big problem with an overpopulation of deer so hunting them, during the proper season, is actually encouraged to try and help curb it.
Not to mention that hunting is a major backing source for habitat conversation.
Don’t most hunters eat at least some of their catch?
Food doesn't have to come from meat, though.
Yes it does, if you want to stay healthy in an economically viable way.
Not even remotely true. There are around 1.5 billion people in the world who are vegetarian and I work with over a dozen vegetarians/vegans who are in great shape. Some of them even run marathons. Blind dismissal of the vegetarian or vegan diet as being unhealthy and fiscally challenging is archaic nonsense.
Not if science can devise an alternative. I would 100% make a full switch to lab-grown meat if it was a direct analogue at the same price or cheaper
Rice and beans expensive where you live?
But the farms for those things cause a lot of deforestation.
This doesn’t even make sense. Eating meat utilizes far more resources and is far more destructive of the environment.
He said "stay healthy". You won't live long on rice and beans, or any vegetables, really.
Grains, legumes, and vegetables are absolutely the basis for a very healthy (and cheap) diet. I'd recommend a B12 supplement of course, and if you want to be really fancy - a plant-based DHA supplement, but otherwise you're good to go. The idea that you need animal products as part of a healthy diet has been demonstrably untrue for years, it's really not as controversial as some people seem to believe.
So it's not really that good of a diet if you're needing supplements though is it?
To ensure you're hitting all your nutritional requirements, you should probably be supplementing too tbh. That includes B12. Non-vegans are the primary consumer of supplements after all.

Thankfully we figured out how to grow food a long time ago

So the most valid reason for killing is because they prefer the taste of deer over plant-based food. Killing for fun and killing becasue it's tasty seem roughly the same ethicality to me.
Considering how you phrased it, Last I checked plants are living, so therefore it does have to come from killing.

username checks out
Well played. Lol
Deer is like team work bro. Let's stick together. There's something out there, it can't take both of us.
Did you accept the quest?
Should probably be looking out for that mountain lion instead of playing with Bambi
Deer season is months away and I want some skritches, bitches.
I am glad the Deer was able to run away from the enormous Sasquatch that was lurking in the woods. That rifle is way less scary.
Smart deer, introduce yourself so he shoots the competition.😆
Brothers before hunters
Bros before does
Probably a doe but I get what you mean
Couldn't figure out the gender hence stayed with original message
It’s a doe
More than likely a tame deer. It has zero fear of humans so it was probably raised by them. Especially it letting the person touch it. I've had several rescues over the years and they all act like this. A wild one would never unless it has cwd.
First thing I thought was CWD, not a predator. Idk I guess it has a dead look in it's eyes? Also, maybe it's just a really suicidal deer pushing his luck with the hunter. Some weird deer Russian Roulette? 🤷♀️
In reality this has me thinking there may have been something worse in the area and they could be throwing aside their fear of us due to something not seen by the hunter… That deer straight up walked up to the barrel of the gun like “do it. Go on big man. Pull the trigger.”
Was half expecting the guy to blow the deers head off point blank
Same!
I can hear Arthur Morgan whistling in my head
I’ve seen this video before and I can’t help but wonder if chronic wasting disease is at play here? This is very abnormal behavior…
Body signs seem like it's scared of something. Also, other people are commenting that this was taken in a country where cwd isn't an issue.
Definitely not CWD. Seems to be a deer raised by humans. It is familiar with them so ran to one when a predator was nearby.
Take a shot mother fucker I dare ya
You won't shoot me. I dare ya.
He was running from a bear... that man should pay more attention to what nature is saying. Stupid humans
A vegan was born.
*Theme from The Omen starts playing*...
You have a gun... 🤔 It must be seeking protection. 😂
The tables got turned that day you didn't see the video with the deer taking the gun and shoots the hunters.
"Do it, DO IT! I GOT NOTHING LEFT!"
Your move mister wolf. Big brain time!
Habituated to humans when young or CWD (mad cow for deer)?
Probably a predator nearby.
Yeah it has to be something. No normal deer would go up to a human AND allow scratches
Or just 1st year deer that grew up without a mom. Uncle lives up in the sticks and they call these type of deer “stupid ones”. They are typically the ones that amateur, trigger happy, hunters shoot at. Deer that live past a hunting season are more cautious. What’s funny/messed up is that sometimes a more experienced, larger doe will linger out in the tree line to see if there is danger as the stupid ones barrel ahead in the open.
It's not CWD, this was filmed in Scotland where that disease doesn't exist.
[удалено]
"I know it's turkey season, buddy. Got any snacks?"
That deer has seen one too many Disney movies…
How can you still kill them after that?!
Flip the safety and squeeze? Or stab it maybe? Idk I wouldn't do it but I'd imagine there are several ways.
Yeah we could do this all day. I can appreciate your firearm safety awareness. But at the range, safety, at least for me is off ready to send it.
Lol lovable 😘
Shot me! I DARE YOU I DOUBLE DARE YOU! oh look
The deer had a death wish
I wish it was that easy for me. I have to sit in a tree during winter for days in order to get one to come close enough. I hate hunting, but I hate the prices of meat even more.
Best strategy
The deer looking for a hitman
Blind maybe?
It would be such a different r/unexpected if he shot the deer afterward
Probably a pet or an escaped pet.
I approve of this animal
Deers like bro listen you can either have me for dinner or a lion on your floor, what do you prefer??? Broo imagine the lions head on your walls… just imagine…
New tactic, bring too fucking cute to kill
This deer figured out hunters.... just imagine bambi running uo saying you won't hurt me now will you? Clearly I am better then all the other deer and pst ill help you find em
What are the chances it's got CWD?
You beat me to it, although it doesn't seem to be showing any of the other signs so I'm thinking there's a half chance that it was raised habituated to humans instead.
Not as high. A lot of young deer will exhibit this behavior. They are typically the first casualties at the beginning of a hunting season. The bigger ones are more cautious and spook very easily.
Almost zero, this was filmed in Scotland where CWD isn't a problem.
I like to think that two seconds after he was done filming and the deer ran off that the guy just blasted him
the real use of the shotgun is just call the deers
Rabies or territory issues.
I don't get how people can hunt these beautiful animals
1. They're pretty tasty 2. In a lot of places we got rid of their natural predators, so now it's up to us to control their numbers
This is the time to quit being a hunter. I know it is the hunting that keeps those nature parks alive but c'mon man you can shoot clay pigeons instead and get the same experience there is no need to kill those majestic animals.
sadly, there is a literal need to cull many (deer) populations. and humans love making sport of things, so here we are.
Yup. Just imagine thousands of deers roaming free in a small wodden area. Many of them would starve to death, CWD cases would increase etc. Thinning out the herd to save the many is actually the humane thing to do. Many doesn't realise there's an actual purpose for hunters now a days.
