Wow, this gal operates a fawn rescue on her acreage. I notice she has three fawns occupying two double fawn incubators & a forth fawn in her arms going into the last space available in the forward incubator. One of those fawns in the rear incubator just happens to be an ultra rare PIEBALD fawn! She states they had just under 100 fawns last fawning season & expects even more fawns this next fawning season. Fawn only rescue operations are rare, with most fawns being rescued by private parties & then raised on private property/acreage until they can be integrated into a local herd. I notice that her furniture is all covered with sheets meaning she is so busy with the fawns & adult deer that she has no time left for other activities. I sure hope she gets more volunteer help like 100+ fawns in a season would swamp most commercial animal rescue operations.

WYFF News 4 Interview; Last stage of fawn rehab before release, & also the assisted care/long term care center for injured fawns turned adults that can not make it on their own. Besides taking in injured/orphaned fawns that folks have come across the DNR also drops of fawns to her operation. Since she has access to a veterinarian hospital & also takes in injured/orphaned fawns from the DNR she may be getting some compensation but one can bet the compensation is closer to small potatoes than a livable sum of money.
Drive extra careful during dusk/dawn as there are precious fawns aboard the does during fawning season!
