My understanding, from research and from what I've seen published, is that nobody is going to intervene with this doe until she's dead--at which point I can contact the local eagle sanctuary and they'll take her body for the birds. But I'd prefer to put off that day...
Deer are specifically ruled out as subjects of interest for the MO Dept of Conservation and for agencies reporting to them, EXCEPT as creatures to be hunted, or when they become major nuisances and you want to get rid of them (read: kill them without waiting for deer season and a permit).
We talked to our son, who lives in Washington DC, earlier this afternoon. He reported that he and his girlfriend had gone to see the musical 1776 last night. (It seems to be getting staged a lot now, for the 250th.)
“Oh, that was one of my favorites when I was growing up,” I said. “How’d you like it?”
“It was good, but the seats were really small,” he answered.
“Oh, where was it?!” I asked.
“Ford’s Theater.”
A theater built in the 1800s and a 6’5” son. I bet he did think the seats were small.
At least he wasn’t sitting in the president’s box.
Good, he said. In case you’ve never seen it, it’s a musical about the Second Continental Congress deciding to declare independence. The main characters (not surprisingly) are John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.
It sounds fascinating, both the play and the setting!
It’s very good—won the Tony for best musical in ‘69.
There is a movie version of it, with the original Broadway actors for the three main roles reprising those roles. I’m sure it’s streaming somewhere, and may be on YouTube.
