Title: Rudy the deer
Post by: woodywsu on December 16, 2011, 10:27:29 AM: The thread "Buck Whisperer" reminded me of Rudy.

Our friend Ruby was a button buck that LOVED oatmeal. He would sit at the window and watch the family eat dinner (which was usually deer steaks) and always wanted to come in the house. He was just one of the pets. Enjoy the pics. I have a lot of them. I will post a few.

Post by: woodywsu on December 19, 2011, 09:29:01 AM: Rudy started with a phone call from work saying there was a deer in the gated area and we needed to get it outside the fence because wdfw was on its way and they were going to shoot him. I felt that was a poor way for him to go so I picked him up and threw him in a truck and drove him out where I lived at the time (out in the middle of no where with tons of deer). When I got him home he immediately atarted chasing my dog trying to play. It was quite entertaining watching my lab barking her head off running from a deer. Things settled down after a while and they were buds. Rudy must of had a past with humans and pets. I think he was raised as a tame deer and someone got tired of him and dumped him at my work

I wish I would have had my camera, could have gotten some pretty funny pics. He eventually hauled it off deeper in the woods as it was starting to not play nice with his small kids.
