I actually rescued a little fawn last year briefly wandering in the road falling down everywhere and running into stuff with that eye crap they get that their mom has to lick off constantly

we had it in the car...it had relaxed and I called around and nobody would take it

all these PC animal rescue nazis only want puppies and kittens or maybe an abused pony

so we went back and tried to scope it's herd and get it bleating to attract the mom

we could see the herd about 200 yards away across a field by the treeline and left it there bleating

i was worried about it...coyotes woulda heard that too and made it short life for that little girl

my boys got a animal world can be cruel lesson that nite

and for you namby pambies here...if i had left it in that sunken road (Wilson Pike...in Williamson county tn..to anyone who knows that road here) it woulda surely gotten run over...some stupid girl texting woulda run right over it

Around here, when they are born they have to get up immediately because the fire ants go after that mucus in their eyes and can blind them.

“some stupid girl texting woulda run right over it “

Dead right. The only accident I know of around here was a girl texting and hit a fawn. I kid you not. She then hit a tree. Fawn was dead but the girl was fine.

“...some stupid girl texting woulda run right over it.”

No - she would have freaked and driven off the road and into a tree killing herself. Like I tell my wife and kids - if you see a deer in the middle of your lane while driving - aim for the deer. (Well - apply the brakes as much as you can unless there is a car right behind you....)

Anyway - a coyote has to eat too.
