(VIDEO) Had a Young Fawn earlier this year overnight
 

found a fawn earlier this year , what a neat animal i was so sad to give him up super easy to get attached but i knew it was the right thing to do to turn him in.

We have found them, too. They'll take sheep milk replacement, but you're better off to turn it loose near a doe(s) with a fawn and see if she'll adopt it.

A fawn only has so much energy to spend until it gets fed.

yeah i had some of that in milk replacer form i mixed up for the guy , he was so emergetic after! but i was worried about the fine so i took him to a rehabilitation place near spruce grove an as far as i know they took him to sundre.

anyone else have any pictures of videos of fawns they have found?

really nobody?

How do you know it was abandoned?....just wondering because does will stash their fawns in odd places and come get them later.

because it was right by my house for 2 days i left it for a long time i figured after over 24 hours of alone time it would be pretty hungry an there was a doe hit on the road not to far from where i found him.

Good on you for dong that. That second video was so cute. Some people would say let nature take its course but ill bet you would have never forgiven yourself if he had got hit by a car, I'd probably do the same thing

Good Job
 

Good on you for turning him in, and taking care of him before you called, sure he would of died without your intervention. I had a chance to see one a few years back, conservation officers were taking care if it. The mother was killed by a vehicle. It still had its spots on and my daughter really got a kick out of getting close to it. They had it for I believe a couple of weeks before returning it to the wild.

Gotcha....just asking :)

Some people have turned in animals that have not been abandoned but just "stashed" by mama for a while.

I've found a few over the years. Stepped right on top of a muley fawn a couple years ago while shed hunting. Scared the heck out of me, nearly jumped out of my skin when it wiggled under my boot. It made a couple bleats and ran off maybe 20 feet and layed down again. Had to be quick with the dog to keep her off of it. About a minute later the mother came down the river bank and stood off maybe 50 yards. It was an interesting experience.

Ive heard of it happening before, definitely a great experiece to be so close to an amazing animal. Gotta love the great out doors.

That's adorable...hard to not want to cuddle it I'm sure eh :lol:

i spent lots of time with him while he was at my house thats for sure

That's awesome, Cody! I'd have done the same thing, but would've been pretty tempted to keep it though. :lol:


Good job man, and nice place ya got there.

thanks buddy, ya i wanted to so bad , but i thought it should have a normal deer life

Nothing wrong with a normal deer life.

An AWESOME deer life would mean having a kick azz rottie as a pal. Maybe that's just me. ;)

true haha , i heard there was a fair sized fine to go along with the deer though if caught, didnt wanna chance it an end up losing him anyways along with 5 grand.

Very cool, did fish and wildlife come and get the fawn?
