Lost Deer Wanders Calmly Through North Carolina Supermarket

A lost deer was seen wandering through a supermarket in Raleigh, North Carolina, footage recorded on November 18 shows.

Video recorded by Scott Simon shows the unexpected shopper wandering down an aisle of a Food Lion grocery store, as several others follow the creature nearby.

“Deer in this area are generally very comfortable with people,” Simon told Storyful. “She was headed up the bread aisle so I quickly grabbed some buns and began trying to coax her toward the exit.”

The video goes on to show Simon trailing behind the wandering doe as other bystanders assist in leading the animal toward the exit.

“We began walking her toward the nearest wooded area where hopefully she was able to find the rest of her herd,” Simon said. Credit: Scott Simon via Storyful

Video transcript

- Still in there.

- There's a deer in the store. See where it is.

[LAUGHTER]

- Oh, he's looking for the cereal.

- I guess, yeah. He ain't looking for deer meat, I tell you that.

- Go ahead and get the door open.

- It's open already.

- OK. Keep on going. He just walked right by the donuts. All right, she is so far from the woods, man. Shoot, the best bet is to go over there.

- I feel like something's wrong. Why would she come in here?

- To be that young.
