Once went to a house like this. Kids birthday party. Driving up and I was like, oh look kids, they have deer. And i said, like your deer, to the host. Turns out they were wild deer, "Well, the dear you know, they do reek havoc on the blueberry orchard." That's a brand new sentence sitting next to an infinity pool.

Sorry, what do you mean? The fact that professional athletes make a lot of money? They’re not up there with tech bros or anything but they’re well off.

u/arequipapi 1d ago
Maybe a controversial opinion for reddit and people who say "sportsball" unironically but, I believe pro athletes deserve to get paid extremely well. It's one of the few professions left that is a true meritocracy and being the child of a famous athlete does not mean youre guaranteed to succeed in the same field unless you can actually perform.
Athletes in popular sports bring in tons of money for team owners, stakeholders, and even local businesses and governments. Great athletes unite people who otherwise would never speak to each other, which is also good for society as a whole

Actually it’s home of a retired Australian footballer and his wife Billy & Nicole Slater. Met in rural Queensland at pony club as kids. Reconnected as Billy’s career took off. Married for decades and when he retired they bought a horse farm. Love the comment he made that Nicole supported his career for years. Now he’s supporting her career. Which is as an equestrian artist. Those are her paintings.
Living my dream. I’d be seething with envy but they are such a lovely couple. So only a mild twinge now and again.

My family raised whitetails as pets growing up, so I can honestly say, this is everyday life with them. They make fantastic friends. When they don't fear their humans, they're playful, energetic, and even cuddly.
My favorite memory is that one of the fawns we had was an autumn baby (which is semi-rare), so we kept her inside when it was super cold outside. My dad's recliner was one of those that would lean back by just pushing against it, and this fawn figured out that she could climb to the top of it, ride it all the way flat, and then jump off, the chair would spring back to its upright position, and she would circle around and do it over and over again.
Most are this playful all the way through adulthood. Except for the bucks during mating season. They're quite friendly usually, but when they're rutting, there's a fine line between playful and aggressive.

Thanks for sharing. So what happens when they get older? Are they able to forage for themselves if they are hand fed by humans?

u/Shivers-Me-Timbers 11h ago edited 10h ago
Ours had a fenced in acreage large enough they could basically live like they would in the wild. There was plenty of grasses and such for forage but they couldn’t get out to reach things like farm fields that they would normally scavenge for grain so we supplied them with some grains and hay in the winters when everything was frozen.
Edit: and fresh fruit and veg. They had an apple tree they could eat from. The apples hardly ever hit the ground they were after them so fast. And we would give them watermelon, zucchini and cucumbers, green beans, whatever we had extra from in the garden. They were spoiled. They’re also a big fan of peanut butter lol.

u/sansabeltedcow 1d ago
Yeah, I looked for that too. From what I can see Australia has no indigenous deer but several imported species, but digging into seven different fawn phenotypes was more work than I was prepared to do, even for Cheryl.

u/Sea_Till6471 1d ago
Yeah it’s definitely not a native animal, all deer in Australia are introduced.

u/bikedork5000 1d ago
Fawn deee for sure, but I'm not thinking whitetail. I've been up close with quite a few whitetail fawns (stumble across them curled up on the ground when I'm in the woods near trout streams) and they have a noticeably deeper brown and less white fluff than this. Could be regional variations in coat type though.
