Something else happened on Last Dollar Road. When we were passing through the area with all the deer, many of them were on the road which meant whichever way they went, they had to jump a fence. The adults had no problem but the fawns couldn't.

We drove slowly, it seemed the least threatening and the fawns and mothers were being reunited in the rear view mirror.

On the left bank (roadside of the fence) a mother with fawn in tow were moving ahead and looking for an opening in the fence. The mother found a spot where she jumped the fence but her fawn went straight. I'm guessing he learned an important life lesson there and likely got scolded.

The fawn ran out of room on the bank and by the time we moved another 20 feet or so, we found her standing in the road. She must have just been born in the last day or two because she could barely even stand. Looking left, looking right, didn't know what to do..

I moved forward slowly trying to just get passed her so her mother could collect her but she kept slowly unsteadily moving away.

The fawn finally just stopped and crouched down low to the ground just shaking as we passed by very slowly. I love animals and wanted to take a picture but that would require stopping next to (about 4 ft away) and prolonging her terror. Couldn't do it, can't even tell you how heart breaking that was. But I'm sure she got back with her mother because just past that point it opened up on the left and mother was still watching from the top of the bank.

When things were looking scary, life took a good turn. Freedom
