Heyo I'm actually relevant for once. I know Tyler. That's the first thing they did.

But wildlife rehab centers in the south won't take a whitetail deer due to Chronic Wasting Disease risk. Puts the whole facility at risk.

The lady who talked to him then gave him her cell number and helped him off the clock to keep the deer alive.

They tried to rehab it themselves when it was off the bottle. Tried to trailer it to a friend's ranch but she'd freak out and hurt herself any time they tried to get her in a trailer.

(proof of me with Moose the deer)

So that means they got a pet deer then, right? Because just letting her go after she's been socialized almost exclusively around humans seems very irresponsible.

Pretty much. They obviously don't bottle feed her anymore. And six months ago a buck started hanging around their neighborhood and she went off with him. Then came back (that's this video).

So she comes and goes. Not a house pet at all but she's around and they're not trying to push her to leave.

Tech sales. Specifically server hardware. Does really well. Super cool guy. Does wealth right IMO - extremely generous with his time and money.

Oh and wife is a country singer.

That picture could be any random deer with any random Minecraft creeper. Nice try!
