I found this guy when I was walking from the office at lunch. At first, stupidly, I marveled at his willingness to let me get close and snap pictures. Then I noticed its leg and I winced. Cars and deer are a bad combination on the best of days...and this very young buck's days were over.
I all but whispered my apologies and called animal control. They said they would be a while, so I did not wait. The buck was going to die and was no threat to anyone. So I left.
In another time and place, I would have celebrated his life and my fortune over a meal. Sadly, we're to civilized in this one respect.
