Hahaha, teach that dog to try and be the predator he is. I think this just proves that cats are smarter than dogs, they know when to run.

No it didn't. The cat still stuck his paw on the doe who then tried to logically trample it. The cat pulled some ninja moves and got the crap out of there.

Shut up and watch it. The cat went to sniff, went back when the dear first moved forward, waited, and when the deer moved forward again it stuck clwas out. When The deer charged it ran.

Where does it say the dog was fine?

The lady who took the video in the description on youtube talked about how she edited out the part where the owner got her dog and it limped off but was fine. Just a little bruised.

In NY, it's 500 feet, not yards, and residential structure, not area. And, that's unless you have written permission. 490 feet from the corner of my neighbor's house to the left back treeline on my property. I don't enter at that corner though, so I'm good.

I was walking through the park once and had 5 deer and 2 fawn behind the rest following me. They just wanted food. I stopped and took a picture of them when the closest was within arms reach. The girlfriend got scared and ran. I wanted to pet one, just didn't really want the gf to be witness to me being impaled by they antlers.

Unless you're in Chicago and there is no distance minimum for shooting the wild life.

Notice moments before the doe goes after the dog, the fawn goes down into its hiding ninja stance. They were thinking the same thing!

I would use that as a general rule unless you know for certain otherwise.

In my state a firearm can be legally used to protect my life, my families lives, and my property. Assuming it was my dog, I could shoot a deer to protect my property.

That said, the act was so fast there is no way I could run to my gun safe, open it, load a rifle, run back upstairs and shoot the deer before the threat was over. Instead I would have taken the responsible approach and called my dog home (or never let him roam free in the first place) when I saw a large wild animal with a baby in my sub-division.

We used to have them in the yard all the time. Probably could have petted one but I wouldn't try. Too many ticks on them.
