That's a very good question...

I had a similar experience years ago...During late summer I was walking a property I hunted armed with a 22...I saw something move in a bush so stopped and waited for it to come out...turned out to be a fawn that apparently did not see me...to make a long story a bit shorter, the deer was blind...I went back to the farm house and got the owner and we went back out and I caught the fawn...the owner peeled back an eyelid and the deer had been born that way...I offered to shoot the deer but the owner said to let nature take it's course...we found the fawn later in the season, dead of course...had it been my property I would have handled it differently but there you go...

Cheers/bg
