S1E7 Debbie Sykes: White Tail Deer Fawns And The Public

Listen as Debbie Sykes of Nashville Wildlife Conservation discusses white tail deer fawns and the first point of contact wildlife rehabilitators have with that fawn -- the public. Gail and Debbie discuss how to enlist the caller/finder as an advocate for the fawn, including when the fawn should be left alone. As rehabilitators, we want to educate the finders on what is the best for the fawn. Gail and Debbie also discuss strategies to make the right decision for the individual animal.
