If You Find A Fawn Alone, Leave It For Mother To Come Back At Night. [View all]

Public Service note for those who live in area with deer.

If you are walking and find what you think is an abandoned, orphan newborn fawn laying somewheres, LEAVE IT ALONE.

With almost 100% certainty, the mother will come back at night. The mothers drop the fawns and leave them during the day and come back at night to get them.

In RL and in youtube videos, I've known/seen people who think they are rescuing a fawn. Mistake almost always.

Check back after dark and if it's still there then call wildlife service.

If flies are buzzing around it call wildlife service.
