They are indeed wild. Our neighborhood is overrun with Virginia Whitetail deer; some call them long-legged rats, but they are cute.
To reduce overpopulation, our municipality hires a hunting club to thin out the herd each fall, using only bows and arrows. Over the last several years, two bucks came into my yard to die after being hit with an arrow. In each case, the hunter was trailing them, and arrived about 10 or 15 minutes after the wounded buck. The club sent me a couple of bottles of wine on each occasion for the "inconvenience." I don't mind, but it grosses my wife out, and gets my Alaskan Malamute all excited. He has learned not to chase the deer into the woods, but he will make sure they leave "his" yard when he encounters them.
