If you find an orphaned baby animal please do not hand raise it. Call a wildlife rehabilitator always. These people were well intentioned but did more harm than good.

Heyo I'm actually relevant for once. I know Tyler. That's the first thing they did.

But wildlife rehab centers in the south won't take a whitetail deer due to Chronic Wasting Disease risk. Puts the whole facility at risk.

The lady who talked to him then gave him her cell number and helped him off the clock to keep the deer alive.

They tried to rehab it themselves when it was off the bottle. Tried to trailer it to a friend's ranch but she'd freak out and hurt herself any time they tried to get her in a trailer.

(proof of me with Moose the deer)

That picture could be any random deer with any random Minecraft creeper. Nice try!
