Unfortunately we also have a highway (Route 2 in Arnold, Maryland) that is extremely busy which results in a lot of deceased deer. When I seem them in my back yard (sometimes 7 at a time no kidding), I do not move in hopes that they go the opposite direction of the highway. A good many times they do go the opposite way.

No, a neighbor "rescued" a fawn. I went with her and put it back around where mother left it. KittyWampus May 2014 #8
