C-Section Performed on Doe Hit by Car, Twin Buck Fawns Saved

Jamie Olson, Rick Hanestad and Kevin Bygd performed a successful C-section on a doe hit by a car on a highway north of Boyceville, Wisconsin. Out came twin buck fawns, and after sleepless nights, antibiotics and steroids for their underdeveloped lungs, they were doing great. 

The DNR took the fawns after Rick Hanestad was denied a license to rehab. Hanestad was hoping to raise and release the fawns on his property with his neighbor, Jeff Bodsberg. According to Hanestad, the care the fawns were receiving will not be replaced by the state. 

Check out all of the amazing photos and videos Hanestad shared below, such as first steps, and dog and deer bonding.
