WATCH: Endearing encounter between Vernon teen and buck

VERNON — An encounter a Vernon teenager will never forget.

Miles, 17, and his mother Maegan were sitting on a small stretch of beach along Kalamalka Lake Wednesday night when they spotted a curious buck about 15 feet away.

The white tailed deer headed straight for them, instantly growing a liking to Miles.

The deer rubbed his head playfully against Miles’ head. Mother Maegan quickly grabbed her smart phone and recorded the entire thing.

“[Miles] was in shock” says Maegan, “he’s a pretty down to earth kid, he really enjoyed the experience.”

But the buck didn’t stop there.

Maegan says the deer didn’t act aggressively at any point during the encounter.

In fact as they were leaving, the deer, still craving attention, approached another vehicle and stuck his head right inside the passenger window.

Maegan says she’s happy her and her son had this amazing experience, describing it as something “you’ll never see again in your lifetime.”
