This is my husband's cousin. She lives around the corner from us. Behind all of our houses is this huge field and a wildlife area. There were two deer running around together for a while and then this one got sick. (We think the mother was captured or killed.)

Brittany and her sister found the deer and made a make shift pen for it. They tried to feed it but I knew it wasn't going to make it. No wild animal is ever going to let you get this close to it. We all pet it and it did not even flinch. It died in the overnight hours after I took this picture :(

Editing: No crop but I did, of course, use Topaz Adjust. It's an addiction!

Awwww poor thing. Nature has it's way of sorting things out. Nice attempt at trying to help the little critter. Nice story to go along with a nice capture.

Awww... the poor thing was so young - probably too young to be without mom. But at least they tried!

Saw the thumb and click on the pic. Was thinking, that's a cute pic of the girl with a deer (fawn?). Thought maybe it was on a farm or petting zoo type environment. I zone in on the pic and miss the title most of the time. Read the story; that's so sad...
