it looks, to me, like the deer is just getting ready to land on the ground, not that he wants to stay with the man....
I find the video a bit alarming. The deer is just in a paralysed mode, not enjoying being cuddled by what he probably sees as a predator.

The man saved the deer as the poor mite was tangled would certainly have been harmed.

yes, but the deer clearly just wants to get away from the man. The deer must be extremely nervous being held like that, and is just in a kind of frozen mode. The man has misread the deer. Perhaps the man is used to toddlers, or dogs not wanting to be put on the ground.

I'll trust you on this as I have no experience in the matter. I just love deers and think that they look so sweet.

well, I haven't much experience myself. But deer are a prey animal, and have been for millions of years...a deer that liked affection from predator animals, wouldn't live very long in nature...and so would be selected from the gene pool fairly quickly.

Even thought the poor things are prey, wouldn't you think that a fawn could be tamed ?

if they are brought up with humans, they will probably be tame.
One wouldn't be tamed very quickly though, I wouldn't have thought.

I'd love to have a deer as a pet. I was thrilled to watch a family of deers at the retirement home on Vancouver island. They would literally come up to the window of the lounge and stare at us. They also came to the garden very often for scraps of food

It really was the highlight of my day watching them munch away on the scraps.
