I was over at the track walking laps. Every time l passed Upham’s old place I heard a big racket like something was struggling between the wooden track fence and shed. After 3-4 laps, l figured l had better check it and went and got some lights. I tried staying back and seeing but no go. I had to get directly across from it. I shone the light over the wood fence and a small deer was going crazy jumping up and down. In a second, it squirted down along the shed and was gone. I couldn’t see what happened until l looked closer and saw a chain link fence next to the shed. The deer must have tried to squeeze between the fence and shed but the fence funneled the gap from 10 inches to 6 inches, trapping it. It couldn’t back up or go ahead. When I walked up it panicked enough to get through. At the narrowest point, it looked like 4 inches. I didn’t see any blood or hair but it must have hurt squeezing through that. I was surprised a deer would be careless enough to trap itself like that. It looked small, like a fawn, so it was probably a naive one. I went back on Sunday to get some pictures.
It gets my vote for a personal Deer Darwin Award.
It was even a tough place for me to get in and out of. It likely was not there that long since it seemed to have a lot of energy. It may be all right but it will not go in there again.
