Feel-Good 😊 A deer plays in the sprinkler with some kids

I grew up in Arkansas surrounded by deer hunters so I knew about the thousands of dollars that they spend. Deer urine spray, deer corn, climbing stands, 4-wheeler skinning, all that stuff. It drove them damn near insane to hear me say that I would throw leftover chicken and pizza out along the woods line and sit in the back porch smoking cigarettes while they came up and ate.
"Deer don't eat leftover chicken or pizza!" "There's no WAY they would come up with you on the back porch, much less smoking a cigarette." Lol, they refused to believe me but you know, there we were, me and the deer, just kicking it in the evenings.

Deer are smart. They know where they won't get shot. I haven't heard about the leftovers before, but I'll believe it

Yep, they hang out in my front yard all the time. I’ll walk right pass them, they won’t budge. They know it’s a safe place.

When I was living with my parents in the country the deer used to congregate in a pasture that bordered our property, which was a forest. I didn’t try to befriend them (had a grudge after they stole all of my sweet corn in one night about a week before it was ripe) but they got used to seeing me and wouldn't run away. There was a mother with two fawns in particular that I remember because 1) the fawns weren't quite the same age, so one was adopted and 2) I know that does with fawns are dangerous and was afraid of what could happen if I walked up on them accidentally. Which I did, a bunch of times, but she'd just huff angrily and stamp. The fawns were super curious, especially the younger. He'd approach me as his mother huffed louder in a way that seemed like she was yelling at him rather than me.
That year onwards my mom gave her brother permission to hunt on our property, and deer only passed through the pasture without hanging around after that. They definitely know.

My mom put some apple slices on the back porch each day. They know who their friends are. She gets many visitors each day. Usually younger deer.

Been hunting deer all my life, never once have I used deer spray, a blind, 4 wheeler, or a feeder (although I might buy a feeder next season). Just seems boring to sit in a stand for hours I prefer to just walk my property and check around for deer.

We lived off in the woods and had a little country store that saved you a 20 minute drive into town for basic necessities. They would sell deer corn every season. One year the price for a bag came out to $6.66. No one would buy it until they changed the price to $6.67
Welcome to Arkansas!

I heard there was also a pretty serious disease in deer in the wild that makes their brain rot or something.
Made them act really weird, leave them constantly craving water and eventually killing them.

Chronic Wasting Disease.
Prions man, those are no fucking joke. Mad cow disease, or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans are 100% lethal. No cure. No vaccine. You just die horribly.The scariest thing is that a prion is not a bacteria or a virus, it's a type of protein. So if a dead body infected with prions is buried instead of burned, the prions will exist for many years and can re-infect animals or humans it comes in contact with and kill them and then spread on.
Prions and Rabies are the first thing I read about on Reddit many years ago. Nightmare fuel.
Found it at the very bottom of my Saved: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/9vhgee/whats_the_scariest_real_thing_on_our_planet/

Well, thank you for introducing me to the horrible nightmare fuel known as prions. I'm now sufficiently fueled for the fucking year.

Yeah, it says Prions get destroyed at around 900 °F or (480 °C for those of us not using Freedom Units), so they'll be completely unaffected by a normal barbecue grill. Fortunately Mad cow disease and those that can infect humans aren't very common.

Don't read up on Rabies then, that shit is almost worse than prions. A virus that infects through saliva in a bite. It goes into your nervous system, not into your blood like other viruses, so it's undetectable and untraceable. Once it reaches your brain you are beyond help and will die while being insane.
There is a vaccine, but you have to take it before it hits your brain, which generally takes 2-8 weeks. So, if like a bat bites you while you sleep in your hammock in the garden and you don't feel it, then go to a doctor and ask for a rabies shot, you're fucked.

Rabies<<<<<Prions I do understand what fuel you're trying to produce (rabies is scary) but bats biting me in my sleep?
Now if anyone has something about ticks. I'm a for it. Those fuckers terrify me.

Yes does it spread easily to humans when coming in contact with wild deer?

Pretty sure it is no transmission by air alone for that disease... you have to eat one, fuck one, or probably bathe in its blood to manage getting sick somehow.

u/bATo76 May 31 '22
There is no evidence of it spreading to humans, that I've read about. It infects deer, elk, moose, reindeer and animals of that family. And it infects either directly through bodily fluids like saliva, urine or blood or indirectly through water or food.

Some horrific things come from prions. Also I think the cryptids called NotDeer are from chronic wasting disease

If you see this GET YOUR KIDS AND DOGS INSIDE ASAP. Mom is just out of eyesight but not far away. She will not hesitate to charge at the humans. Likely to die? No. But those hooves can cause some damage.

Are there MORE & MORE Deer, here in the US that have exposure to Prions? (Wasting Disease) that’s a scary thought.

Honestly, that's an awesome thing to see. The fact that all of them naturally enjoys a thing a simple as this.
