Odd outdoor encounter
In which, rather than euthanize a stunned deer involved in a fender bender, the Michigan deputy picks it up and carries it to the side of the road.
I grew up surrounded by deer, but I’ve never gotten to pick one up.

I was prepared to see more caustic comments about this online — hey, he saved this deer, but he’s off hunting other ones — but found only one, which was nicely answered by this response: “Hunters do more to protect wildlife than almost anyone else. The whole wildlife conservation movement began with sport hunters. There is absolutely no conflict in this officer’s actions.”
