Oh dear me! It's a deer I see!

To all the hunters out there. We recognize the important role you play in wildlife management.
1). Your license and hunting fees raise millions of dollars and helps to pay for game wardens and land management which in turn protects the areas where wildlife may live.
2.) Your hunting skills also help control over population of certain wild animals throughout the different seasons. Although, some hunters consider their efforts merely a trophy to add to their wall, most are mindful of their lawful rights and responsibilities concerning the wildlife.
Please, be ye not wasteful, merely for the sport of hunting.

Nature's wildlife is too precious a resource to waste.

Mother deer will sometimes seek a safe place to have her children. This safe place may be your backyard. There was an interesting case provided by one of our visitors where the mother deer jumped a backyard fence, gave birth and then jumped the fence again and left. Our members tell us this is a common occurance.

If the yard and fence remain safe to the mother and there are no new dogs or cats in the area the doe will return. She will jump the fence nightly and care for her young fawn. You can help by insuring the area around the fawn remains safe. Let Mother Nature do her thing and in a short time the little fellow should jump the fence himself when his legs are strong enough.
