Ric, you have described my feelings exactly. Unfortunately, he is what I call a "town deer" and is most likely more vulnerable to the big cats and probably an encounter with an auto than he would be if he lived in the back country.
However, he may be one of the deer that has come to town because of the drought, but he is not afraid of humans.
I don't know if you read the other links of the saga of the buck and the rabid goose in an earlier post on this thread, but I did have fun writing them.
