You’re speaking about a wild animal as if you would a dog. Apples and oranges. Wild animals are driven by two instincts. Survival and pro creation.
Sure, you can absolutely domesticate a wild deer, but in the end I’m not sure as humans it’s our right to do so.
The North American Model for Wildlife Conservation does a good job of trying to make people understand where the boundaries or gray areas are in regard to how much humans should intercede on behalf of wild animals and places.

Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. .”

I have a buddy who also had a pet deer he raised from a fawn. That deer would even get on the boat and go trawling with him. He had a fenced in back yard that the deer would stay in.
My buddy went to get his medicine at the local pharmacy and when he got back someone had shot his deer in the pen. My buddy was only gone for 25 minutes. He actually had a license to keep the deer but he didn't report the killing to authorities, cause he didn't want them to find out what he did to the person who killed his pet if he found out who shot it.

I agree with you on this. Just saying that because of the CWD angle, LDWF needs to go do some investigating when they get a report about a possible captive deer.
But for this incident, the investigation should have ended with everyone going about their way. No charges, no confiscating the deer. Deer was free to leave the property anytime it wanted. The deer wasn't imported from out of state or from a CWD zone. LDWF should have just left this one alone after they saw what the situation was.
Yes, 100%. If ever there was a case for using discretion, this sure appeared to be it. What was the message they were trying to send- that the blind but very well cared for deer raised by those people was better off dead?
Good luck selling that PR disaster.
I'd like to add that I'm certainly not a card-carrying member of PETA. I've been a hunter all my life- and will be until I physically can't do it anymore (hopefully many years from now
). But this case was just unnecessary.

So it was an actual buck?

frick the LDWF. Slimy cock suckers. All game wardens are slimy cock suckers. They probably put the deer down when they took it from the family also...ie, wasted it

It's against the law to care for an injured animal? I thought the law was for keeping it captive
quote:
To rehabilitate an injured deer in Louisiana, follow these steps:
Do not attempt to rescue the deer yourself; it is illegal to rehabilitate deer without a permit.
Contact Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries at 800-442-2511 for assistance and guidance on the best course of action.
Leave the deer in its natural habitat if possible, as wildlife populations are regulated to prevent overpopulation and disease.
Consider contacting local wildlife rehabilitators who have the necessary training and facilities to care for injured wildlife.

I always love seeing non hunters talk about white tail like they are biologists.

I don't think you understand what I said at all. How you or I feel about it doesn't really matter. Humans are part of the game and there will always be moments where we pick winners and losers.
Hell just the other day someone in my neighborhood saw a cat stalking baby ducklings and made the cat frick off. Quite literally a lucky duck

The deer was 100% blind, and was definitely abandoned.
Was it really though? There is a big difference between 100% blind and partially blind. Green jeans stated the deer was partially blind which makes sense. I very seriously doubt the deer was 100% blind. Caring for a totally blind outdoor animal is almost impossible. I had to put down a horse that went totally blind and got itself severely stuck and injured.
People find fawns alone all the time. If they would just leave them be.. the mother would return. I regularly have to cut around them when brush hogging because they won't move. The next day I mow the spot they were laid up in. Their instinct is to stay right where their mother left them until she returns. They are born with spots to aid in hiding while the doe forages.
Spring is a big time for bear sightings here because they travel around picking off fawns. They are easy prey. I watched one sniff out a fawn in a field and nab it like it was a stuffed animal.

No, I understand and I’m not disagreeing with you as much as I’m simply stating that all situations are different.
Deer are the single most important “cash crop” for the largest majority of fish and wildlife agencies. They will always be viewed differently as domestic ducks in a local pond.
BTW, the cat people go bat shite when I tell them how many birds their precious pussies kill each year.

I’ve seen it on website several times and on PSA’s especially after a couple was fined for the same thing a few years back

Yes, it was completely blind. As a fawn, his eyes were glazed over and had a blue tint. Totally unresponsive to any movement.
They built a large enclosure for him, which was wooded, and took very good care of him.
You don't have to agree, but they gave the deer a life that it wouldn't have had otherwise.

Agents made contact with Mr. Sibley on Dec. 22 and found the partially blind deer in a fenced-in area on his property. Agents issued Mr. Sibley a citation for illegal possession of a wild game quadruped, which carries a $250 to $500 fine and up to 90 days in jail.
Hmm...what's the difference in this and having high fence acreage?

Eyes look fine in the pictures.
Any 100% blind ungulate is gonna constantly injure itself.

Are these the people who had the dear deer?

Well well well.
So meth, machine guns and a captive white tail.

Unless they were giving the meth to Little Buck, he remains innocent
... And if they were giving the meth to him, then he's a victim from another angle additionally
