    Bad day for this deer

    Driving to work this morning on our county road and I noticed this deer in a bad predicament. At first thought it was dead as it wasn’t moving at all, but as I got within a few feet he started moving. With no one around to help at 6am, it took me 3-4 tries to lift him off this post by myself. It was sticking out of his butt by about 4”. He took off in obvious pain after I pushed him off the fence post. Not sure he’ll make it but did all I could. Probably weighed around 80-90lbs. Sad deal but I couldn’t just leave him hanging on that fence in pain.

    Hopefully she will recover. Glad you were there to help.

        If she can survive the infection she's most likely gonna get I'll bet she pulls through. Feel like the injury is similar to a butt shot deer survive those often.

              I noticed that too after looking at my pics, I’ll update and word it as buck. I didn’t remember seeing anything at the time, and it was too dark for me to confirm sex

                      I will 2nd this. You done your good deed for the day, hope she can make it. They are resilient for sure. I wonder if she was pregnant? I would say probably doesn't bode well for the fawn.

                        Good job. I have found deer dead and hollowed on my fenceline. Usually, the leg gets caught in the barbwire and twists on the hoof. Then, they are done if no one sees them.
                        Hopefully, the deer gods took notice and will bless you this fall.

                          Have seen that more than once with that kind of fence

                          Doubt that one survives but there is a chance

                            First time I’ve seen it. Planning on talking to my neighbor about it since it’s only 4 houses down from me. You can see he added golf balls to every other post, not sure if it was for looks or not
