CARTHAGE - Game Warden Jonathan Parker of the Maine Warden Service responded to the call of an injured fawn found in Carthage on Saturday morning.
The fawn had been hit by a car and left on the side of the rode. A resident living nearby noticed the fawn and called the Warden Service. Once it was carefully lifted into his vehicle, Parker took the young deer to an animal clinic in South Paris where it was given a splint for a broken leg.
The fawn will remain at the clinic to be rehabilitated and released into the wild when it's healthy enough.

Poor baby, good to know our game wardens are there to help the animals.
Sounds like another great episode of North Woods Law??!! Can't wait for Season 2, Warden!
awww... poor little thing....Old enough to be away from the mama??? . and yes, I agree with karen.... cant wait... Got all the re runs memorized. lol.
Clearly it should be rehabilitated so someone can shoot it when it grows up.
It will wind up at the Gray Animal farm for sure.
Good Job Warden Parker and the person who called it in. I hope it heals quickly!
Aw he’s sooooooo Cute.
How sweet! Any baby pulls the heartstrings of this professional grandmother!
