The scene was taken, yet again, in Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Though it looks serene, this deer was far from feeling peaceful or content. There was a horrible open wound on her front left leg just below the knee. Her lower leg, hidden by the grass, was three times its normal size and must have been terribly painful. It was starting to heal but she had to walk through a gate in a nearby fence while all her companions just hopped right over. Calling a ranger would have been equivalent to putting her down and she just didn't look like the fight was gone quite yet. I hope she's okay.
