Deer deliver in the strangest of places! If you find a fawn in your yard, leave it alone, do not touch, move or feed it. They have no scent and predators cannot find them unless humans interfere. Mom leaves during the day for 2 primary reasons: to feed, and to keep her scent away. Mom will return, but not until dusk and not if humans are around. If you discover the gift of a fawn enjoy the experience, and let the Mom do what comes naturally. Please share, thank you. #wildlife
@golgaloth While the “scentless” thing is a falsehood, it’s all still generally great advice. Unless the fawn is in obvious danger, leave it alone.
@waterluvian @golgaloth fawns have very little scent, compared to their mothers.
