How do you not eat this doughnut?

How the hell does that even happen? Did a donut truck flip on the thruway, the deer dart out from the woods to eat as much as possible, and take some for later festivities? Or was a hunter in a tree-stand playing ring-toss? 😕

No, some idiot camper put it there.
 
Poor dear was probably trying to find the donut. Also dangerous because a bear could smell it and try to bite the dear's head off...to access the donut.

Bandwagon much? This is a perfect example of when it is appropriate: when it makes the difference between having the video and not having it. He's standing in water with his phone out and needs a hand free. It's not exactly the best moment to break out a tripod and miss it while setting up for the shot.

Vertical video aversion douchiness doesn't get my approval.

Obviously the deer has approached other people in the same way. It clearly doesn't react with aversion like other wild deer. If anything, it behaves as if it is attracted to people, which is very likely reinforced by the last encounter netting him some donuts.

When I was younger a herd of deer came over to our campsite and we fed them carrots by hand. Was pretty cool. But yeah deer shouldn't be doing that.

(And I'm just now wondering why the heck we even brought carrots while camping)

Ahhh this makes total sense now. He'll be able to reach for it and enjoy it with a hot cup of joe after going through the dunkin donuts drive-thru. That bastard. I'm jealous.

Yeah, if that deer has not escaped from captivity it grew up next to some farm where the owners fed it and treated it like a pet. That kind of behavior isn't natural, it learned to not be afraid of people.

Does it matter when they are afraid of people? They end up getting slammed with 160 grains anyway.

He doesn't need a tripod. Just turn the phone π/2 radians.

Just watched a Nature doc on mule deer on Netflix lastnight that was pretty cool. Guy spent years integrating himself with a wild herd of deer.

Did you honestly think that I thought tripods were necessary for horizontal video? That's my point: it is about what is appropriate for the situation. Do you want a video of this moment that will never happen again or not? He was standing in water and needed to keep a hand free. Expecting him to hold it sideways and risk dropping his phone is almost as unreasonable in that situation as expecting someone to have a tripod in another. What's next? A SteadyCam rig?!

I get it. It's fun to pick on people for VVS, but there IS an appropriate time and place and this is one of them. VVS only annoys me in situations where there is no good reason for it.

Note: you can't simply switch hands in landscape because you will either cover the camera or flip the video upside down. There is a drastic impact on phone handling. Over water with no clue whether the deer would attack (they are territorial during estrus), I would have done it vertically too.
