My Deer died :(

Well I am heart broken....There has been a female deer that has been coming in my back field for months....she and I have gotten very use to each other, I talk to her, and she just continues to eat   :)

Here she is last night with some g/f's she brought over

Well tonight we went out to eat with our son (my step) and his wife.....coming down the driveway she jumped out and hit the truck   :(     I jumped out and she was knocked out....but alive.....so I had my huband and son get her in the truck and we took her to the house......we put her in a sheet hammock and laid her on the grass.....she started to come to....we noticed she had a broken leg, so we put a splint and ace bandage, I put water in a cup, and wet her mouth with a turkey baster to keep her hydrated,,,,,she had some blood coming out, but her ribs and all seemed intact....she kept trying to get up....so we thought maybe we were making her nervous....our son and his wife left, and we went inside....I got changed, went back out.....and hse had died

here she is with the bandage before she died

The only good thing was we took the husbands truck and not my mustang.....and there was no damage to the truck.....

Not a mark on the truck....she kinda hit it sideways I think....and possibly the back wheel hit her....I guess we got lucky on that one

as I said earlier.....I guess it was a good thing we didn't have my mustang....we always take that, but since the back seat is so small, we took the truck so our kids would not be squished.....

GUESS WHAT.............I have been looking out back all day...and my deer is there

Apparently this was one of the g/f's  :(    BUT NOT MINE....I knew it was her, cause she has a mark on her side (the other one kinda had one too)  and when I talked to her, she looked at me wagged her tail, and kept eating....

I am soooooo happy mine didn't die, but still saddened that the other one did....I know they were both mothers, I have seen (and held) the younguns

BUT MY DEER IS BACK

HERE SHE IS

NO....I couldn't do that....my step-son said at first..."I'll go get the knife"   and I almost freaked

Sorry....but it got wasted....We have a freezer full of deer meat...but not my deer
 

LOL...thanks REN....she was out there tonight with the baby
