Question Deer at Deer Cottage

I've been working on getting 100%, and I was coming up to Roanoke Ridge to get the rock carving, when, to my surprise, I found a deer on top of a building. I was all but certain it was a glitch until I opened the map and realized that the place is called Deer Cottage.

He's a 1-star Whitetail Buck, and he's completely passive. Eagle Eye seems to indicate that he spawned directly on top, as it doesn't show him having ever gotten down or up.

I still think it's most likely a glitch, but I wanted to post here, and see what people think. Should I leave it be, or kill it?

I feel it might also be relevant to mention that I had just come from the Viking tomb site, right after finding the feral man. As a matter of fact, the feral man stills appears on my minimap as Stranger.

I'm playing on PS4, and the in-game time was around 10 PM when I first saw the deer

I had boars spawning on rooftops in Red Dead online. I guess this is a glitch, but what a coincidence with Deer cottage, lol

I've had it happen often. They seem to just spawn from the sky and land in different places.
