Joe Hutto Accepted by Wild Mule Deer
- jonaldomo 12y ago“You can’t let a 180-pound cat make all the important decisions.” I couldn't agree more.
- deeviant 12y agoYeah, it's a pretty bad idea to let a 8-pound cat make all the important decisions as well...
- yareally 12y agoNature did a documentary about his raising and observations of a clutch of wild turkeys from hatching to release a couple years ago. Full episode is on pbs.org[1].

- johnohara 12y agoHis PBS documentary, "Touching The Wild," is available on Netflix. "Naturalist Joe Hutto taps into a new understanding of mule deer by living with a herd in the Wind River mountains of Wyoming for almost seven years." There's the wind, the river, the mountains, the deer, and Joe Hutto, all part of an interesting story.
- tunap 12y agoHuh! Very interesting. I loiter around drinking my 1st cup of coffee with mule deer most mornings, I thought ours were just acclimated to people... north-side of Phoenix metro. A few dozen of them graze our property most mornings between twilight & sunrise. They are oblivious of my presence, sometimes curious... more so with newborns around. I've had them sniff me & my coffee as they mosey by. Just last week a young buck almost walked over me as I was standing in the middle of the driveway talking on the phone. I watched him approach 50+ yards straight at me. I tried walking backward but he wouldn't let up so I chickened out and stepped aside. He walked by without breaking stride or saying 'pardon'. They're pretty good neighbors, otherwise.
- lectrick 12y agoI haven't gotten to know a single animal (including humans) that didn't end up having a quite distinct personality. I assume ALL animals have different personalities... is not getting to know them an excuse to eat them? :)
- dwd 12y agoThe development of artificially grown beef steak can't come soon enough.
- bmelton 12y agoWhich will ironically herald the impending extinction of cows.
- dwd 12y agoBeef cattle, yes; but it may take a while for dairy to go artificial. I can see a few places like France holding out and supporting an industry focused on "traditional" methods. No one want's their cheese to have the texture of Kraft Cheddar, or their milk to taste like UHT.
