As for my Bambi, she went to a home for misfit and wayward Bambi's.
I wanted to have her brought back to my property, but the chances of her been taken back by her mother, and surviving out here were slim to none after she was handled by humans. The coyotes would've had her first night. So she went to a preserve where she will be taken care of until she is old enough to be released in the wild.

It is the season for baby deer here in Florida, and they're popping out right and left. I obviously disrupted these two, but this is the way they're supposed to be treated by their mom.







Hey wait, come back!

Must of been a bad day for deer on Thursday evening. This one was stumbling around in my driveway, so I took it to the animal ER. They asked if I wanted it euthanized or if I wanted it helped....Nearly $1500 later I guess I'm the proud new daddy of this Bambi. If it does well it will be brought back and released on my property.

I was just reading about a guy in the Jacksonville area, used to be a hunter now has a refuge for wayward bambi's and other animals after recovering from near death himself, pretty cool. Personally I could never shoot a deer, not against others doing so but it's not for me. I'll shoot fish all day long but not mammals.

Hope yours does well.

Man, what a selfless act. If we could legally clone you I would be for it. Not a lot of people would have taken the time or the money to do this.
Im not a religious man but I can't help but hear the echo of "the first shall be last and the last shall be first". Great job.
