Lost Baby Deer


Every time I see a chewed off plant in my garden I remember how much I love venison....

However, my love of venison is fully eclipsed by how hard it is to see little guys like this without a mother in sight. I hope the hunters here on Hornby are making sure the deer they hunt have no babies who need them. So far we have been visited by two young deer with no parental supervision.

I'll feed this little guy as long as he comes around here, but it's a hard go alone in the winter. So far apples and lettuce are a hit.

With all the winter hair, it looks more like the elusive Hornby Island Alpaca
