That’s what happens when you wear Scent Lok and cover yourself with doe in heat. Lucky the guy didn't get bred. :lol:

That’s crazy! Guy is lucky it didn’t turn ugly. Cool to watch.

Having raised a fawn when I was in high school, I'd say it's very likely this deer was someone's pet. The huge top off is when the deer turns away to nibble on a plant. The deer is clearly comfortable being really close to people.

I saw the video on you tube. Pretty wild.... Although to be honest - I probably would have shot that deer before it ever developed into what it became. That would be a good deer for my area.

When interviewed the 8 pt buck said he was deeply ashamed of the incident and said he was intoxicated when it occurred. The 8 pt buck said he is currently in treatment for alcohol addiction. Since this story broke 2 other hunters have come forward with allegations that 8 pt buck groped them while ground hunting in their ghillie suits. 8 pt buck had no comment on new allegations.

Sounds like he booked a hunt with Brush Country monsters.
