Tiny fawn bedded down in my backyard... #4337566 08/23/25 12:39 PM

No cover at all. It's still there as of 12:35 this afternoon. I know their natural instinct is to lay down where momma put them and not move, and that's what it's doing, but it's been hours. Seems odd for momma to put it there to start with, then to be gone away from such a little feller for this long...especially in the middle of the day. Hope nothing has happened to her. At what point should I begin to be alarmed and think about doing something? Call the game warden? "You think I care? Roll Damn Tide" Have you tried Google?

Couldn't really walk just wobble into corn field about 20 ft away.

She never felt alarmed, only curious. She stood there and let Mrs. Irish talk to her for a while. We could have fed her a bag of peanuts if we had them.

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted..... proud Cracker-Americaan muslims are like coyotes, only good one is a dead one

It will be fine and momma will come back and get it when she is ready. Ridge life I’d have beat the teeth out of mine the first one she killed. Does around the house dropped their fawns close to me because they felt safe that my curs kept the predators away. They would walk right bye a fawn and that’s what they were trained to do. Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!
