Talked to a couple of people, one from F&G and one from a Rehab Nature Center. She told me to put my boots on, take some binoculars, a rope and a blanket, and go see if I could find it and catch it. And if I could find it and lasso it or throw a blanket over it... to check and see if it was loaded with ticks, because if it was, that means the mother hasn't been taking care of it. I told her if I could get it in my fenced barnyard, then someone from her rehab center could come get it.

So I suited up in my combat gear (long sleeves and pants to guard against ticks) and took up my sword (a tree branch to tear down the spider webs and spiders... oh I hate spiders almost as much as you do!) and went trapsing around in the woods with my husband (reluctant husband) looking for Bambi. Didn't find him. Some thick brush, trees, grass, etc. Very difficult to see. But... I did reposition my wildlife camera and put some fresh batteries in it, so maybe something will turn up on that? Didn't even see any ticks when we checked each other, thankfully. The things I get myself into....
