Several of my colleagues and students were hired to do some assessments for several manmade and natural ponds on his property. He wanted to maintain them with several different fish populations so that kids nearby could fish and have a good time. <\/p>\n<p>While we were working he rode up in his four wheeler with a terrified look on his face. I never thought I would see a former football player on the verge of tears, but boy howdy he nearly was. Several of us stop what we were doing and go over to see what was up. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was running the tractor through the field and almost hit a fawn.\u201d He says.<\/p>\n<p>Now, for reference, it\u2019s pretty common to have farmers run over and kill fawns. The defense mechanism of fawns when they are young is to lay down low and not move\u2026which obviously isn\u2019t great for when there\u2019s a tractor. It happens all the time, but it can be pretty bloody. It\u2019s not a pretty sight.<\/p>\n<p>So, thinking that maybe such a gory scene unnerved him and that we may have to dispose of the body, I say \u201cMr. Brown, is the fawn still alive?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He says \u201cYes, I took it to the barn\u2026but I\u2019m afraid the mom won\u2019t take it back because it has human scent on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The myth about \u201chuman scent\u201d is a common one, but it\u2019s just that\u2026a myth. But still, this guy was absolutely terrified that this little deer was going to live the first few weeks of its life without a parent. He was distraught. <\/p>\n<p>Luckily my professor\/boss was like \u201cDon\u2019t worry Mr. Brown, if you return the fawn relatively close to the spot that you found it, the mother will come back. The human scent thing is just a myth. The fawn will be alright, just be sure to keep the barn quiet so that the fawn doesn\u2019t panic.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Mr. Brown\u2019s face lit up and he let out a sigh of relief. \u201cThank God\u201d he said \u201cI was so worried.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s the story of how I met the sweetest man ever: Mr. Jason Brown.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>oh my god what a precious treasure of a human being<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>#protecttenderblackmen<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I wanna hug him!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>cosmic-noir: note-a-bear: jumpingjacktrash: spacenoot: beldaran: jumpingjacktrash: you go, you beautiful person. you fuckin go.
