Here is a short synopsis of operation “Bambi rescue”.
I received a call from one of our guys requesting assistance near a material staging area. When I pulled up, I could see a small fawn laying down in an old cut down plastic drum partially filled with water. The sides of the drum were about 12” tall and there was a pallet laying on the ground next to it. The fawn must have used the pallet as a step to gain access into the drum, but once inside his/her hoofs slid out on the slippery bottom and could not stand back up. The mom was about 30 yards away keeping a close eye on the situation. I put on a clean pair of gloves and picked him/her up and set aside in the dry warm grass. We vacated the area to give mom a chance to take care of her baby. I checked back a few hours later and both the fawn and doe were gone.
