Amazing Baby Deer Encounter! New 2017 - Plus things you should know about Newborn Fawns/myths

Thanks for watching!!! What an amazing baby deer encounter!!!!! I've listed a few facts and things you should know when it come to newborn fawn encounters.

Baby deer are born April through July, with the majority of fawns born in June. First-year does have only one baby each, with twins in the following years or even triplets....

Baby deer/fawns are left alone most of the day while their mothers go off to feed and chase other mature deer away. They typical stay 100/150 yards away and come back 2 or 3 time a day to feed, clean and move the fawn. If you can know of any other reasons please leave a comment.

Baby deer/Fawns are typically left in tall grass fields, thick woodlands, and thick brush but sometimes you can find them in open areas, including backyards.

Well-meaning people often think that because a fawn is alone it must be an orphan... NOT true most of the time!

A fawn has it's best chance of survival when left in the wild... even if the fawn was abandoned because the mother was killed... Other does in the area can and will adopt the baby deer... I've seen as many as 4 with one doe. Personal I think it's best to leave the fawn alone.

Now... as far as touching the fawn... A lot of people say don't do it!!! Because you'll leave your sent on them and make them easy targets for predators... Well.. let's talk about that... It true you will leave your scent on the fawn but it's a human scent. The reason baby deer are born without a deer smell is DEER smells tasty to predators!!!! This is also another reason why the doe leave the fawn. Typically human scent does not smell like a meal to most fawn predators. Exceptions: maybe the grizzle, wolf, mountain lions... if you can think of any others please leave a comment. So I would say... It depends on where you live whether or not you can touch one.

One of the most important things to remember is NOT to feed, water or spend to much time with the fawn... imprinting is likely going on and we run the risk of interrupt that vital process.

Tell me what you think of the video. Thanks
