New Born Deer

[skeeter@ccia.com]

When I was a kid my dad found a bunny snuggled against his tire on the car...probably sat there when the tire was still warm but it was frozen almost like a rock when he brought it home....we got to thaw it out and put it in the basement for a few days during the extreme cold snap but although we were big bunny hunters with a few bunny hounds tied up out back there is still nothing like helping a critter in need when ya can. I just wish I could of been about an hr or so sooner when I first found a doe that jumped the chain link fence surrounding the new highway here. I was passing in my car when I first noticed her thrashing around with another deer by her side. By the time I got help and got back, she had passed and we all felt so sad....if only she could of lifted her 2 hind feet just 1/4 inch higher..her back feet hooked in the very last row of links...sad but then again they need to put the fence a little higher because I also found while walking the fence line places they had just snipped sticks off at waist high while installing the new fence because I guess they didn't want to bend any and the punji sticks had deer hair, blood and some guts on them now and then....I spent a few days in this crossing spot cutting down the rest of the spears..I hope it saved more critters from agony...geezzzzz....oh well....
