Key Deer! Beautiful and Friendly

While visiting the Florida Keys for Mini Season, we came across a few incredibly adorable Key deer. They are the smallest of the Whitetail Subspecies and live primarily on Big Pine and No Name Key. They are highly protected and have no natural predators, but around 30-50, get killed by cars each year! If you're ever in the area, be sure to keep an eye out, they are amazing little critters!!!!

It warms my heart to see hunters who respect and appreciate the beauty of nature. Need more like you in the world. 🙂

The one animal I would like to interact with... is the ORCA. One day I will visit them in their natural habitat. It's on my bucket list :)

I always look forward to the videos that you guys post. Your vids always put a smile on my face. 

Take care and god bless! Lots of love from Australia!

It is neat to watch young deer as they are so curious! I have had young whitetail come up to me just to see what/who I was!

It’s great that you hunt but also appreciate and respect nature

This place reminds me of Anticosti Island in Quebec Canada. The deers have no predictors on the island and are small also.

Nice video, so you do have a heart

I found out about these in Spider Robinson's book "Callahan's Key." (Short version, Callahan had a bar in Long Island. When he blows up the bar to stop an alien invasion, his guitar player, after some false starts, reopens in Key West. On the way there, there's a chapter about the Key Deer.

The biggest misperception is hunters don't appreciate our natural resourses. The truth we as sportsman and weman are the biggest supporters financially and put way more back for everyone not just outdoors people than we ever take out. My wife and had just got of the lake near our place and watched four mule deer feeding on the side of the road two where bucks and shere still in felt. Just made my whole day. I love those moments. Keep up the grest clips. Love em all!
