The @indianadnr has issued new restrictions concerning the movement of orphaned, sick, or injured deer. This restriction is in response to a positive case of CWD and applies only to NE Indiana (LaGrange, Steuben, Noble, and DeKalb counties). Effective immediately any person who finds such deer may only surrender the deer to a DNR-PERMITTED WILD ANIMAL REHABILITATOR LOCATED WITHIN THE FOUR COUNTIES. This important change is intended to stop any potential spread of chronic wasting disease in order to keep our wildlife and humans safe. As always, when encountering young fawns it is best to give them space and leave them alone. Doe will leave their fawns for many hours at a time, and while they may look abandoned to us this is quite normal for them. To learn more about CWD in our state visit https://www.in.gov/dnr/fish-and-wildlife/wildlife-resources/wildlife-diseases-in-indiana/chronic-wasting-disease-cwd/
