He's been eating good, won't take the bottle until I force it into his mouth but once it's in he goes to...

Have come upon these forums out of a little frustration. I live in Texas.

Hi everyone, I am a young/new deer farmer in PA. I have just found a fawn in with my deer herd on monday, must have been born over the weekend, the fawn was alone and none of the deer were paying attention to it so I'm guessing the mother abandoned it since it was born so late in the year. The...
