7 orphaned deer fawns run wild again after successful rehabilitation
After spending months caring for seven deer fawns, The Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation (AIWC) celebrated their release into the wild this week.
The mule and white-tailed deer arrived at AIWC’s rehabilitation centre five months ago.
Scottie Porter, AIWC’s communications coordinator, says some were orphaned, others injured and at least one was kidnapped.
Porter points out young deer are the most demanding patients AIWC treats. When the fawns first arrived, they required formula feedings six times a day.
When they moved to a primarily leaf-based diet, staff and volunteers had to collect up to 180 kilograms of fresh twigs and vegetation every day.
But all that work paid off. On Wednesday, the young deer were placed in individual boxes and driven to a forested area west of Sundre. When the doors were opened, the deer casually walked out and ventured off into the woods.

AIWC is a non-profit organization and “rehabilitation of a single fawn costs over $1300,” says Porter.
“The public can help AIWC prepare for next spring’s fawn season by making a donation at www.aiwc.ca.”
