Hunter befriends surprising guest in viral video

A hunter's surprising encounter with a guest in the forest is going viral.

Brian Powers was out in the woods when he spotted a friendly deer. The deer approached him, and the two spent some quality time together.

"This deer lives in the wild but is friendly toward humans and someone was smart enough to put the orange scarf around his neck to try to protect him," Powers said to a local news station.

The adorable animal nuzzles up to him and allows himself to be pet. The duo spent around 10 minutes together -- and the deer even returned later on!

That is one friendly deer!
