Friendly little guy...
So last evening I saw something move near the bush line behind the house. As I walked towards it, determined it was a small fawn. Could see Mom in the trees near it.
So I made a "kissing" sound, and the little bugger started walking towards me. It actually stepped on my foot, and stood there for a bit. Mom then made a funny noise, and it slowly went back to her. No fear.
Pretty neat experience!...

Wicked! Good thing mama didn't come kick your butt! haha!
I used to have experiences similar pretty regular when on our acreage out in Water Valley. Sometimes the mama's were chill but others you could see them being far more wary. I was always watching when the fawns were out.

Cool experience.
I had something similar about 20 years age. Was driving down a backroad in NW Saskatchewan. Trees lined both sides of the road, not ditches. A Doe ran out about 50 yards ahead I slowed and a fawn came out and lied down on the road. Would not move. I got out picked it up and set it on the edge of the road as near to the trees as I could. Momma was only about 5 yards away. It is an experience I won't forget. That fawn was likely only 15-20 pounds.

The little buggars are very naïve in their early days.

You fatten that little bugger up nice and big Phil.
Whatever you do, do not get emotionally attached!
I know it's easier said than done

Time to polish your tiara
That is awesome! Well done!
