I saw a fallow deer in Vail today.... Shoot or no shoot???

This is a pic that my daughter took by the Silver Springs Ranch the other day. Does it look like the one in Vail?

I'd have dropped it and thrown it in the rig.

Crazy, pretty cool that there are some of those running around. i would love to shoot one some day!

Shoot shoot shoot.  No regs for fallow deer I'm killing it.

There use to be a small heard running around behind the dump on meridian where lipoma fir golf course is, they have been killed off over time, completely legal to kill them anytime of year

I'll be there this weekend and late buck, good info to have I'll drop it if I see it.

Unless it's someone's pet I think someone need's to drop that thing! I would report it to WDFW to see if a local person lost one and if hasn't been reported... then it'll be interesting table fare!

IF it is a fallow deer that escaped, it could be a very valuable animal.  But if it's not tame I have no idea how they could get it back. 
I personally would try to get the word out that there is a loose fallow deer (sheriff's department, animal control, etc) first.  To me it would be like shooting an escaped cow...  .  I've personally had cows/steers get out from time to time and it's a very scary thing (even when it's just a little down the road from our farm).   If someone shot my cow I would be devastated!

Maybe that one fallow deer started the whole hoof rot epidemic

FWIW, they are delicious.  We had Christmas in England about 20 years ago, my English aunt bought 1/2 a fallow buck for me to cook.  Lighter than American deer, between venison and pork in color - very mild, great flavor, tender.

Let them go crazy and breed, then we can have a hunt-able population.

Just got texted a pic of one in the bed of a pickup. The way it was told to me the Game Warden said it was most likely some sort of hybrid. No issue shooting. Not my kill, can't post it.

Was it in the back of a blue Chevy pick up?   A local guy shot it yesterday.

It was tame enough. The couple that saw it before I rolled up said it stood on the road and watched them watching him.... Still, in the middle of nowhere... Wish I would have pulled the trigger.
Wish that couple would have sent me the pictures they took.
