Doe struck by vehicle gives birth to three fawns
DUNN COUNTY, Wis. (WEAU) On the night of May 22nd, a pregnant doe was struck by a vehicle in Dunn County on STH 25 south of Wheeler. The doe died, but after death gave birth to three fawns.
The female that struck the doe and nearby home owners helped nurse the fawns with animal milk supplement until the Dunn County Sheriff's Office arrived and took over from there.
The Dunn County Sheriffs Office cared for and fed the fawns at the office over night. The fawns were later transported to the Wildlife Rehabilitation and Release and appear to be in good health.

I hope the babies thrive as they seem to be doing now.

(24,560 posts)We have plenty of deer here...I will see them with their fawns at the local park.
One time, I saw two bucks spare during mating season. It was pretty awesome to see.
We have to be careful about hitting deer too.

The original accident was very sad... the sequelae were very lovely.
