Yeah, but sometimes I feel there’s more to those babies feeling safe around humans. Maybe it’s me just wanting to think it. But one day I was walking in the woods with my dad’s dogs at about three or four and they had a bad habit of chasing deer and we tried everything we could to stop them. Day we were walking down by the creek and they got after a yearling well all three of them down on top of it and I thought it was a goner so I started running towards the dogs to stop them. Well, I distract the dogs long enough for the Yearling to get loose. Tell me why that yearling ran directly towards me, and that action saved his life because I was able to hold the dogs off and getting their way long enough for it to get away and hide. If it would’ve ran any other direction, it would’ve been a goner. Pretty crazy and weird that baby decided to run right to me for protection. Or maybe it was for some other reason and I’m just stretching. Still pretty crazy though.

Well for one, they aren't people. They're wild animals. Most of us hunters don't even harm a doe with a fawn since we have respect for the population and the ecosystem. We hunt for food, and it's much more expensive to buy the equivelant amount of meat at a super market than it is to get a deer on your own, plus we enjoy going out in nature.

@emekecho2024 hol up... If you're gonna bring God into this then there's just one small problem: God literally gave us permission to hunt, but also told us to not be wasteful and actually eat the animals we kill. Not only that, he gave us dominion over the entire animal kingdom. And in terms of calling let's say Deer people, this is not so. Since people is a multiple of persons, said is defined as the following: A Human Beaing regarded as an Individual A category used in the classification of pronouns, possessive determiners, and verb forms, according to whether they indicate the speaker ( first person ), the addressee ( second person ), or a third party ( third person ) Or you have the Christian Theology definition talking about the Trinity, of which Deer aren't any of such. Deer also aren't human beings making up a group or assembly or linked by a common interest. Lets define Human Being shall we? - a man, woman, or child of the species Homo sapiens, distinguished from other animals by superior mental development, power of articulate speech, and upright stance. Lets also go ahead and define a Wild Animal: A wild animal is an animal that is not domesticated and can survive on its own in the natural world without human intervention. Wild animals can live in the wilderness, such as in a rainforest, mountain, or beach, or in built environments alongside humans. They are able to find their own food, water, shelter, and other needs in their natural habitat. Wild animals are also not tame and usually don't interact with people. And while there are many similarities between humans and animals there is also great difference, especially in terms of intellect, social structure, creativity, language, brain size, and motivation. Animals, especially wild animals, think only based on instinct and are incapable of reasoning. Saying that say a Deer is people is also saying that a Deer has human rights, the right to free speech, the right to self governance, etc etc, but these concepts aren't even applicable to deer for they don't have such intellectual capability to even comprehend the meaning of such constructs that are of human social creation. All in all, the right to hunt was given by God and those of us Hunters who are Christian and prize our kills don't just kill for fun, we kill to eat. Also I'd like to comment on the plants part because this is very funny to me. You do know plants are living as well and when cut or pricked, etc etc, they omit an ultra-sonic scream? Yeah let that sink in...
@emekecho2024 also I'd like to hear your opinion on predators like Bears, Wolves, Foxes, Cougars, Lions, Tigers, etc, because they all eat meat to survive.
That’s a defensive mechanism that young deer do. It probably thought you were a deer or something familiar and then realized you’re scary. They lay down and freeze so that the “predator” will chase after momma.
It reminds me of that video of a cow calf running up to an elephant and getting in his face. The elephant seemed like he was like "Controll your child!" and the mother cow semmed like she was thinking "Im sorry he is new".
Yeah cuase now it's mother will likely abandon it due to the fact that the person petted it. It's very common for wild animals to abandon their young when it's smells of human scent
@@whyareallofthehandlestaken it's not,cause our scent attracts predators,that's the scientific reason to NOT touch baby wild animals OR the mother itself.
Thats pretty cool. Ive been seeing this more and more lately as humans and animals are getting closer and closer because of limited living space and we push more and more onto their turf. Lots of strange and out of character behavior from all types of animals, sometimes even bears or cats too coming into very close contact to humans without attacking at all. Just carrying on. So this was a very good interaction.
...man, that sucker is DOOMED *I mean. Beyond how doomed it clearly ALREADY is? if its"prey mode" means: "Oh sh**!

@@abandoningbeforeban mothers ditching them isn't the problem. Baby dear have no scent, it's what allows them to hide from predators. When you rub your scent all over them that defense is now gone.
That... wasn't laying down for head scratches, that was a fear response because baby realized it messed up & freaked out - you're lucky mama didn't have somethin' to say about it lmfao
The Baby Fawn was taught to lay down an be still when approached by anything other than deer! You scratched its head an put human scent on it! Fawns are licked by thier mother to keep them scent free. Mothers Will usualy charge at predators approaching her baby’s? If ever seen a person get kicked by a Hoofed animal you would just keep distance an take pics.
Fawns this age instinctively collapse to the ground and lie motionless when they get scared or sense a predator. I'm fairly certain it didn't lay down for you to scratch it's head.
Earlier, a little deer came to ask for help. Mother deer caught in net After receiving help The little deer came to thank its mother along with the mother deer.
@@ryugo7713 Sir is your brain made of cubes or something, the baby deer thought the cameraman was a predator. We are literally viewed like that buy most prey animals anyway because they're..prey?
It wasn’t “playing dead”, it was trying to become invisible. It’s a reflex reaction when they feel threatened. In grass or brush it works remarkably well, but isn’t all that effective on asphalt.
Fawns sit in grass like that to evade predators. Somehow it mistook him for a deer and when he realized it went into survival mode, because in nature freezing then falling to the ground in front of predators is an excellent survival technique.. it's shocking that deer even exist with idiot kids like them lolz
It kneeled down to the ground because that's what it's Instinct and it's mom taught it to do if it fears something. So at first it was probably curious and then drop down once Instinct kicked in, they do it to hide down in grass/bushes and let its camo work its magic.
No, that is a dangerous precedence. Not only did the people harm the fawn by putting their scent on them but also potentially harmed them by having the mother reject the fawn for having such scent. Deer (and the majority of animals) don't distinguish Humans from other predators so it going off of instinct (like the fawn did to hide from the people here) is their best option to survive.
Earlier, a little deer came to ask for help. Mother deer caught in net After receiving help The little deer came to thank its mother along with the mother deer.
@@pamfisher7700 ok….but it still wasn’t kneeling for a head scratch. That’s a defense mechanism in baby deer. Usually, the mothers would leave them in tall grass while they go to graze, so the babies would kneel down flat to hide from poachers and predators. It’s and evolutionary technique that has been instilled into a all baby deers. What I can’t seem to remember is, what are baby deer called 😳? Foals? Fowls? I forget 🤦🏽♀️.
@@karenholladay-ne9go yes, you’re definitely a Karen . Your mockery was uncalled for - people can forget or genuinely not know of the term. What an asinine comment

@@faded1887 yea because you can totally call a deer naïve. They definitely have the same mental capacity and awareness as humans. If This is what you get pressed about you need a real self evaluation
@@tinahilbert6014 Wow, you're very sensitive/triggered. It's amazing how defensive people are nowadays to any comments. You're judging me yet calling me judgmental for making a truth statement; oh, the irony. Humans are predators to these prey animals, and the deer was acting on instinct. It doesn't mean the person filming was going to harm the deer, but the deer didn't know that.
Again. Completely wrong. I love all you know it alls are always the ones most sure you’re always right when you’re usually wrong. They saved that baby dear and the mother literally stopped their vehicle to ask for help and leads the man to get that baby free from a soccer net
@@gachagamingfox that's literally the natural response deer babies have. They can't outrun or ward away predators, so their usual response is to lay limp and just use the natural cammouflage to not be detected, but it becomes an automatic response. It's literally their natural response to danger lol
No that thing took a kneel and accepted it’s fate. From a far, the deer didn’t think you were such a giant until it got up close. Once it got a better look, it was like “yeah I’m done” “take me if you will!” 😭
it kneeled after realizing that when you run towards something...it could activate a defense response from the person it was running towards. a remarkably sensitive, nuanced, intelligent deer.
@@gothboschincarnate3931 nothing remarkable about it really. It’s just a natural instinct. they all have it. I wouldn’t say it’s something special about this particular deer.
@@gothboschincarnate3931 It's really not at all what you are describing. It dropped because it thought it ran into a predator. It's instinct is to drop and blend in, and wait for the danger to pass. You are incredibly naïve if you think instinct is somehow a PSYCHIC skill.
@@gothboschincarnate3931 you sound like a clown lol. The deer ran right into danger and you praise it’s intelligence. Moron lol. Most deers wouldn’t have run towards the human!
And this dummy touched it. Whitetail fawns are fairly scent free to help them avoid predators. Petting it on the head leaves your scent that could potentially lead to its death. It didn't kneel for scratches, it knelt bc it's scared.
Deer don’t do that. It’s only a myth that parents tell their children to stop them trying to grab wild animals. The same goes with birds. They will not leave them because of a scent
It's so young, and happy to be alive. Then it realized it had just made a fatal mistake. Did the only thing it knows to do, by instinct. Drop and don't move. Don't know why it came over, but hopefully it's still young enough. To still regain its fear of humans. It's one of the ways, they survive.
It was a fear response, imagine if a bunch of black teenagers toting guns approached you and your wife and demanded they inseminate her on behalf of future scientists everywhere. You woud do exactly the same. Harmless. You are the baby deer.
It's because baby deer confuse the sounds humans make for the sounds deer make, we have simular vocalizations to deer, so he likely feeling hungry, approached the man for food
@@courtneyholder3400 Don't know bout the, "being hungry" part. It's mother is right there. Now on the vocalizations? I can agree on that, or more so. The sound range, have heard deer sounds/calls. That did confuse me, for a sec. Just can't get over the way, and the look it had. When it came over. It does not grow old.
It absolutely was not leaning down to get a head scratch in any way. It fell into that position out of fear. Baby deer are curious, but they usually get scared upon closer inspection.
*Just here to see all the idiots say the same comment about the deer not kneeling to get its head scratched…. As if 100 other people haven’t said it already* 🤦🤣🤡
@@videosofthemusclegod1910 I personally think it's kind of neat the way so many people, from possibly all over the world, have such common thoughts and knowledge about things like this. It shows a little bit about how much people could actually understand one another if we just wanted to. It doesn't bother me to be called an idiot, because I know I'm not one, but it's sad that you feel the need to say it to people for reasons like this. I sometimes comment without reading any comments yet, and I'm sure other people do as well. Even if they do though, it doesn't matter.
That deer was not waiting for a head scratch. When they lay flat like that, they think they are invisible. They are taught to go motionless when they sense a predator .
Where is this school where the little deer students learn all the tricks of 'deerdom'❓ In reality, the mother, upon birth, licks the newborn clean of any scent and seemingly abandons the fawn.. She returns to the fawn to nurse when the pressure in her udder gets uncomfortable.. With twins, most common, and/or triplets, more common than single births, the fawns normally are individually bedded down, which improves the chances of each fawn's survival.. EVERYTHING about whitetail deer early life is driven by pure instinct, developed over eons of time (survival of the fittest!)
Yeah i think thats already been stated 1000 times atleast on this thread, dont understand the need for people to feel like they need to comment with the same information that has already been posted again and again, anyone with half a brain would have already known this information.
Fawns only defense when they feel threatened is what's called "freezeand drop" It was hiding from you, believe it or not 😂 Better keep an eye on momma. Deer hooves are insanely sharp, and they will use them .
@Katie so was the fawn, lol. From what I've actually seen and watched on TV, fawns are about as intelligent as any infant, hahaha. It looks a little small to be traveling through the open with mom. When they're super young, the mother will usually leave them in a thicket by the woods while she forages. Hench the freeze and drop. They lay perfectly still, and those spots are insane camouflage, believe it or not. Maybe the mother was gonna have it hide in the general area? There's tons of hiding spots by houses. Around my area, it seems like a weekly thing where people find them under outdoor stairs, porches, bushes, ornamental grass, etc.
BTW.... I'm a wildlife rescuer/rehabilitation specialist. I've worked with whitetails. Rushing up to this person is totally abnormal, instead of the mother springing and running immediately in the opposite direction in a flash. You'd be surprised how fast these little ones can be at such a young age, even though it's so little. Not normal behavior from the doe or fawn.
I've seen this behaviour on semi domesticated deer in my city. The whole group of them here are largely desensitized to humans and have been fed for decades. It's likely a situation where they do know eachother. The deer here won't go as far as touching but they will come right up to you if you're respectful and get to know them
You’re not supposed to pet wild deer. They will disown a deer/fawn if it doesn’t have the same scent as them. And apparently human scent is very strong to animals.
The baby was so young it probably hadn't seen any other wild life so when she went to inspect she realized she may have made a mistake 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥰😍 so adorable
I can imagine the mother deer looking on and thinking the same thing that my mother thought at some point... "My kid is an idiot... I actually gave birth to an idiot"
😂😂 🤦🏿♂️ I think all moms have had this moment at least once, especially with us boys😂😂. Cuz...I mean body slamming each other off of rooftops was "fun" at one time 😂
I never touch the little ones when they come up to me during hunting season. Several times over the years they've come right up and smelled me nose or hands. It is an incredible thing to meet nature face to face.
When I lived in the country our pool was by the woods. While sunning one day, the tiniest little fawn came up to me. He stretched his neck out, cocked his head as if trying to figure out what I was. Then bucked and pronked his way back to mom. It was the cutest, tiniest little thing frolicking his way back to mom. I didn’t try and pet it. I just enjoyed the moment. I had seen plenty of fawns over the years, not one that young though.
The fawn was approaching with curiosity then reacts to the arm movement ,instinctively; lying down motionless as they always do when scared &/or hide from predators
Wild animals don’t just walk over to something they’ve never seen before to be pet. It was curious, realized you may harm it and tried to hide itself Edit: okay I understand now, he saved the deer, stop telling me Edit: omg read the first edit stop telling me 🤺
There was a first video where the guy who is filming followed the mother deer who lead him to the fawn that was stuck in a soccer net, and the guy filming helped the fawn escape the net, and now this video is when he saw those same deer later.
Momma deer teach fawns to lay flat to hide in grass when a predator is near. Jumped towards them like any curious child, then remembered Mom's lessons and dropped like taught. Don't approach them. Mom could be VERY protective.
@@blunts4sarah @YazzyWazzyWhatever The person the deer kneels in front of is a woman, not a man. You just have to watch the video they are talking about to realise that. The man saving the deer from the net and the kneeling deer are two completely different videos of two completely different animals spliced together to form some heartwarming CZcams content that makes people go "ahhhhhh" and most importantly get millions of views, but are actually completely unrelated to one another. Is that good enough for you, Yazzy?
Deers play dead when they’re scared. He wasn’t waiting for his head to get scratched, he was waiting there fearing for his life hoping you wouldn’t eat him.
Baby deer: Mom! Mom! Look a human! Can I let it pet me, plleeeeaasssee? Mother deer: -Sighs- Fine, just this once but we continue on as soon as your done, no more excuses! Baby deer: Yippie! -Runs over-
That other video is a made up story using several unrelated clips including this one. You can find the soccer net clip and it's different people (they live in that house).
@@luismedranogand what you saw was a natural defense mechanism. When infant deer feel threatened they lay down, usually in tall grass, (but not always) to avoid being spotted. It’s definitely not asking for head scritches.

Wild animals can live in the wilderness, such as in a rainforest, mountain, or beach, or in built environments alongside humans. They are able to find their own food, water, shelter, and other needs in their natural habitat. Wild animals are also not tame and usually don't interact with people.
And while there are many similarities between humans and animals there is also great difference, especially in terms of intellect, social structure, creativity, language, brain size, and motivation. Animals, especially wild animals, think only based on instinct and are incapable of reasoning.
Saying that say a Deer is people is also saying that a Deer has human rights, the right to free speech, the right to self governance, etc etc, but these concepts aren't even applicable to deer for they don't have such intellectual capability to even comprehend the meaning of such constructs that are of human social creation.
All in all, the right to hunt was given by God and those of us Hunters who are Christian and prize our kills don't just kill for fun, we kill to eat.
Also I'd like to comment on the plants part because this is very funny to me. You do know plants are living as well and when cut or pricked, etc etc, they omit an ultra-sonic scream? Yeah let that sink in...
@emekecho2024 also I'd like to hear your opinion on predators like Bears, Wolves, Foxes, Cougars, Lions, Tigers, etc, because they all eat meat to survive.
He actually saved the mother and the mom wanted her baby to thank the man, the whole video is great
That’s a defensive mechanism that young deer do. It probably thought you were a deer or something familiar and then realized you’re scary. They lay down and freeze so that the “predator” will chase after momma.
Damn. It was like "take my mom instead" 😭😂
@@staciii Its videos like this that gets people and animals hurt.
Self preservation at its finest Lol

No, people said he rescued the deer so it knew him.
The mother was probably like "I guess I raised a damn idiot.."
When her fawn just ran straight to the "danger"
Aint no way the mom just let her baby stay with the danger
She didnt even try to fend of the danger💀

“Well, I can always raise another…”
It reminds me of that video of a cow calf running up to an elephant and getting in his face. The elephant seemed like he was like "Controll your child!" and the mother cow semmed like she was thinking "Im sorry he is new".
Why is no one mentioning that you shouldn't (NEVER EVER) touch a baby deer at all, Unless it's badly injured.
Sounds pretty dumb to me. Whoever told you that is a moron of morons.
Yeah cuase now it's mother will likely abandon it due to the fact that the person petted it. It's very common for wild animals to abandon their young when it's smells of human scent
That's actually a myth

Ive been seeing this more and more lately as humans and animals are getting closer and closer because of limited living space and we push more and more onto their turf.
Lots of strange and out of character behavior from all types of animals, sometimes even bears or cats too coming into very close contact to humans without attacking at all. Just carrying on.
So this was a very good interaction.
It wasn't looking for pets, it was curious, then got spooked and went into prey mode.

It wasn’t “playing dead”, it was trying to become invisible. It’s a reflex reaction when they feel threatened. In grass or brush it works remarkably well, but isn’t all that effective on asphalt.
No it wanted snugy wugy hugy's
Exactly, it was afraid
Fawns sit in grass like that to evade predators. Somehow it mistook him for a deer and when he realized it went into survival mode, because in nature freezing then falling to the ground in front of predators is an excellent survival technique.. it's shocking that deer even exist with idiot kids like them lolz
In fact it did run up to a predator.

That baby deer was an example for the mother that u can trust some humans.
No, that is a dangerous precedence. Not only did the people harm the fawn by putting their scent on them but also potentially harmed them by having the mother reject the fawn for having such scent. Deer (and the majority of animals) don't distinguish Humans from other predators so it going off of instinct (like the fawn did to hide from the people here) is their best option to survive.
For those of you who don't know, that baby deer realized it was in danger and went into its "I'm hiding" mode.
And of course, the video cuts right where the momma deer tramples the old woman into the ground for touching her baby!

The fawn isn't "kneeling" for a scratch. It's kneeling bc that's its defense mechanism.
@@pamfisher7700 ok….but it still wasn’t kneeling for a head scratch. That’s a defense mechanism in baby deer. Usually, the mothers would leave them in tall grass while they go to graze, so the babies would kneel down flat to hide from poachers and predators.

Perfect comment that summarizes the entire situation
It was a fear response, imagine if a bunch of black teenagers toting guns approached you and your wife and demanded they inseminate her on behalf of future scientists everywhere. You woud do exactly the same. Harmless. You are the baby deer.
It was so eager until it noticed the thing it walked up to wasn't another deer
It's because baby deer confuse the sounds humans make for the sounds deer make, we have simular vocalizations to deer, so he likely feeling hungry, approached the man for food
@@courtneyholder3400 Don't know bout the, "being hungry" part. It's mother is right there. Now on the vocalizations? I can agree on that, or more so. The sound range, have heard deer sounds/calls.

That deer was not waiting for a head scratch. When they lay flat like that, they think they are invisible. They are taught to go motionless when they sense a predator .
Where is this school where the little deer students learn all the tricks of 'deerdom'❓
In reality, the mother, upon birth, licks the newborn clean of any scent and seemingly abandons the fawn.. She returns to the fawn to nurse when the pressure in her udder gets uncomfortable.. With twins, most common, and/or triplets, more common than single births, the fawns normally are individually bedded down, which improves the chances of each fawn's survival.. EVERYTHING about whitetail deer early life is driven by pure instinct, developed over eons of time (survival of the fittest!)

From what I've actually seen and watched on TV, fawns are about as intelligent as any infant, hahaha.
It looks a little small to be traveling through the open with mom. When they're super young, the mother will usually leave them in a thicket by the woods while she forages. Hench the freeze and drop. They lay perfectly still, and those spots are insane camouflage, believe it or not.
Maybe the mother was gonna have it hide in the general area? There's tons of hiding spots by houses. Around my area, it seems like a weekly thing where people find them under outdoor stairs, porches, bushes, ornamental grass, etc.

BTW.... I'm a wildlife rescuer/rehabilitation specialist. I've worked with whitetails. Rushing up to this person is totally abnormal, instead of the mother springing and running immediately in the opposite direction in a flash. You'd be surprised how fast these little ones can be at such a young age, even though it's so little. Not normal behavior from the doe or fawn.
I've seen this behaviour on semi domesticated deer in my city. The whole group of them here are largely desensitized to humans and have been fed for decades. It's likely a situation where they do know eachother. The deer here won't go as far as touching but they will come right up to you if you're respectful and get to know them
Maybe the momma dear sensed the guy meant no harm!!

You’re not supposed to pet wild deer. They will disown a deer/fawn if it doesn’t have the same scent as them. And apparently human scent is very strong to animals.

The human instinct to pet anything that moves goes strong
it was not looking for scratches, it went into "oh shit thats a predator" mode
So basically it accepted its fate while she touched it
When I lived in the country our pool was by the woods. While sunning one day, the tiniest little fawn came up to me. He stretched his neck out, cocked his head as if trying to figure out what I was. Then bucked and pronked his way back to mom. It was the cutest, tiniest little thing frolicking his way back to mom. I didn’t try and pet it. I just enjoyed the moment. I had seen plenty of fawns over the years, not one that young though.
Cuteness 100%
Survival instinct 0%
The fawn was approaching with curiosity then reacts to the arm movement ,instinctively; lying down motionless as they always do when scared &/or hide from predators

@@reece8192 running away from something that could potentially kill you isn't a human aspect, its called an instinct lmfao
@@TamTam24512yet when a car is speeding towards them they stare
That fawn was so scared😭😭 poor baby
Baby deer: Mom! Mom! Look a human! Can I let it pet me, plleeeeaasssee?
Mother deer: -Sighs- Fine, just this once but we continue on as soon as your done, no more excuses!
Baby deer: Yippie! -Runs over-
If I remember correctly, this was after a man freed the baby deer from a soccer net
That other video is a made up story using several unrelated clips including this one. You can find the soccer net clip and it's different people (they live in that house).
@@luismedranogand what you saw was a natural defense mechanism. When infant deer feel threatened they lay down, usually in tall grass, (but not always) to avoid being spotted. It’s definitely not asking for head scritches.
Its not
You're are right , thats what I thought
