Men with Pet Deer

Endearing portraits of men and their pet deer. WARNING: Do not try this at home. Deer whispering at this level requires keen precision in the upper vocal ranges, physical agility, and a gentle touch honed over time. These men have many years of training and experience.

This is NOT a tattoo. Meet Simon Forester. Simon's story is one of friendship, survival, and a horrifying ordeal in the woods. Last month, Simon and his beloved deer pet, Pointy, were walking through the woods when Pointy was struck down by a hunter's bullet. Pointy died almost instantly. For 3 agonizing days, Simon held Pointy tight to his chest, crying, not eating or drinking, and not wanting to give up on his dead friend. When another hunter finally came along on the third day, he had to pry cold, dead Pointy from Simon's grip. Doctors treating Simon for exposure and dehydration were at first baffled by the deer impression left on his chest. As Simon explained to Matt Lauer on this morning's Today Show, it was later determined that the mix of blood, tears, and deer saliva in combination with constant pressure, permanently stained his skin.

Behind every good sniper there is a great spotter, and no team exemplifies this better than Jeremy and Mrs. Whiskers. Jeremy honed his spotting skills over many years of scouting and is the first openly-gay Eagle Scout. Mrs. Whiskers has been shooting since a kitten. This pic was submitted as part of the team's audition package for the popular TV series Doomsday Preppers. The pair claims to be prepping for the "bambi apocalypse."

Making a rare exception today at MenWithPetPeer.com for this fascinating shot of a man and his pet lion. The man explained that he Bimba were taking the summer traversing the Australian outback on foot. When Bimba would take cat naps, Mel would stand guard with his rifle. These two really have each other's bachs.

Nothing is more soothing to a deer in the wild than the Pipes of Pan. Master-domesticator Ronaldo is pictured here with his apprentice Keith, showing off their “PanSynth DZX2” prototype. In his compelling TED talk, Ronaldo explained his one-two punch system in luring and taming a deer. “I attract target with beautiful pipe music, then mesmerize with teeth.”

It's normally dangerous to approach even a tame deer from behind, especially a bilingual deer in the middle of interpreting. But to our intrepid photographers here at MWPD, no risk is too great when it comes to "getting the shot."

Getting set for the final heat at the 2008 Bullock County Buck Races. The handlers can be seen here calming their animals at the starting log. They had time to pose for this quick shot seconds before D-Man fired the starting rifle!

Charlie and Craig happily proclaim they would walk 500 miles just to spend time in the woods exercising Leith, their champion show-deer.

Dozer here truly grasps the beauty and depth of a man-to-buck relationship. Of late, he's not so sure about the commitment levels of Johnny and Gerry.

Since this is just a picture, you can't hear these guys humming the most beautiful melodies in 4-part harmony. When not performing at community functions, the members of "Hummony Bunz" can be found at here at Pickerel Lake. They fly in every year on their private float plane to do some Humming & Fishing. And of course synchronized deer-petting!

Expert antler-handlers Jase, Buck, and Doosh (left to right) with Pookie, Snookie, and D-Woww (respectively). Everyone should get over to Hole Seek Ranch at least once to see the boys put on their annual Deer-Straddlin' expo. The boys'll tell ya straight up: Nothing feels as good on the perineum like denim and deer neck.

Well the guys may not know bright colors are out for the fall fashion season, but how can you get mad at all this adorableness! Jay-Ron (left) can be seen here petting his buddy Boof, and that's Sketch on the right with Chomper. Just great, guys! Now about those jackets. . .  ;)

Band photo alert! Deer Tickle is an emerging rock outfit from the tri-city area. Dave (drums), and Buster (bass, keyboards) are Young Stevie (lead vocals) are pictured here with their band-deer / mascot, Skipper. Who needs a band-mom, when you have a band-deer?! When not slaying it at the clubs, Deer Tickle can be found hammering out their power-trio stylings in Young Stevie's mom's basement. Thanks, Stevie's mom, for sending us this deericious pic of the boys!

Ben and his lesser known brother Len Affleck (both lower right) are pictured here with some of Len’s C-lister buddies. Ben brought his pet deer, Coochie, into the house on this cold night for an evening of board games, punch, and cheese. To make his docile woodland companion more comfortable indoors, the guys wore camouflage so Cooch would feel surrounded by his natural habitat. Clever thinking, Boys!

Rudy Giuliani and long time pal Rob Reiner with their furry friend, "Picky." What a sweet. . .er. . . pic! The boys said that Picky likes to pick his nose a lot, which makes it bloody sometimes. Welp, you can pick your nose, and you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your pet deer's nose! See also: you can lead a deer to boogers. . .  but since he has hooves, you could try to fashion an automatic nose-picker for the deer using old bow and arrow parts.

Rowdy, Bud, and Slick posing with their tame deer friend, BullDog. The boys say BullDog likes to fetch, play dead, and (obviously) snuggle! But he has trouble rolling over due to his heavy, majestic rack. Congrats, Boys!

An all grown up NKOTB (Jordan, Joey, Jonathan, Danny) with their absolutely pooped pets, Simon, Elvis, and Cleo. Long day of frolicking in the woods, no doubt! Adorable as ever. Where's Donny?!

A young Oliver Stone and a portly Billy Bob Thornton with their ruminant pal "Grumpy." Doesn't Grumpy just have that light in his eyes that says "contentment"? What a cute family. Hey, Grumpy- maybe they'll put you in pictures! #lol
