In the past month there’s been this juvenile deer hanging about the compound in front of my shop. It has an unusually dark and shaggy coat. Deer often come into my compound, but usually in small numbers and not regularly. This particular deer is there every day.
I looks to me like this deer has just given up hope. It isn’t skittish at all. It moves slowly. Just this afternoon it walked right up to the bay entrance of my shop and just stood there motionless for about 10 minutes with front legs splayed, making eye contact with me whenever I looked in his direction.
It looks healthy, but I’m afraid something is wrong.
What should I do ?
