The young buck, given the name Randolph by locals, was discovered as a fawn last year by Thompsonville's Bill Hand, who raised it and let it roam the area. It had a red collar with its name on it. It's a lesson some of us never seem to learn, officials say.
Somebody tries to keep a tame deer around and it winds up getting to be a problem.
Since it's against the law to keep a deer captive without a permit, Cohlmeyer says it's perfectly legal for a hunter to shoot the deer or for animal control to remove it. I worry about kids really getting hurt. If he can do that to me, he can do that to anybody.
