Deer Friends

This next story has a happy ending, but first a note of caution: It’s a bit ‘arrowing. Here’s reader SoccerSue with the photo and story:

These two siblings have an interesting backstory. Six years ago their mama was running around our area with a broken arrow stuck in her shoulder. One of my neighbors coordinated with a wildlife rehabber and the Dept of Fish and Wildlife, and they got her tranquilized and removed the arrow. She was only given a 50/50 chance of survival since they weren’t able to remove all of the arrowhead. They put a yellow tag in her ear to monitor her (and let hunters know that she was off limits), and my neighbor named her Lil’ Kim (because she has bling, haha!). Kim has since had at least four sets of fawns, and has likely already outlived the average lifespan of a deer by several years.
