Amherst · 8:35 AM

Little Baby Fawn, Definitely Stuck in the Gate

An Amherst PD officer, 8:34 AM, calling in what he was looking at from a respectful distance: “Little baby fawn. It's definitely stuck in the gate.” The officer added he didn't want to get too close and spook the animal into further injury — “but I don't think it's quite as bad of shape as the one we had last time” — and estimated a six-minute ETA for whoever gets the call. If Amherst PD has a running fawn-in-gate case log by now, they're not saying.

A companion call at 8:21 AM had already tagged another young deer stuck in the gate between posts at 0116 Greenway. Fawn Season, on the wires.
