Yep, spotties are indescribably cute, they're sweet, if you can't imprint them they won't eat and if you do they're YOURS. They'll follow you around, all trusting and calm, and will suck on your fingers and try to play, lots of fun. But then they can't go back very well later. It's a real challenge to re-introduce a deer, the herd often won't accept them later. Petting zoos might be the end result.
As an adult, they'll tear up the house and yard, attack visitors and make a general nuisance of themselves. Up to the point they walk up to a hunter. It's a reason I never shot deer that acted friendly or odd, we had a few tame ones around the area, was always afraid I'd shoot someone's pet. That phase sort of passed once everyone realized they were stuck with a grown cervid that wouldn't ever fit in as a pet but couldn't make it as a free deer.
Farm that critter out to a rehab ASAP.
