orphaned deer

From: Jennifer Nowicki City: Freeport, IL
My mother lives in rural IL. A tame deer, although not a white-tail, has been hanging around her house. She thinks an unfriendly neighbor had it penned up for years (without a permit). The neighbor has 3 dogs that seem to search out the deer on her property. She doesn't mind the deer on her property but worries about the dogs and the winter. What are her options?

I'd recommend having your mother contact the Illinois Department of Natural Resources wildlife biologist who covers the county she lives in. She can find them at: http://web.extension.illinois.edu/wildlife/professionals.cfm
