This morning there was a suprise in the drop box outside of the Wildlife Center. A woman had brought in a tiny little fawn that she found in the woods behind her house. However, we are not allowed to treat deer. Also, the woman had removed the fawn when she should not have. Deer leave their young throughout the day and then return at dusk in order to feed it. The woman believed that the baby had been abandoned and was concerned.
While she had good intentions, once we called her and asked her to come get the deer, she made life a lot more difficult. She would not do so and was so mad that she actually hung up on one of the staff. We had to make a trip out to where she lived and finally found the spot the baby had come from. I hope that the mom is able to find her baby!
