You Found a Fawn
If you find a fawn that does not look injured please leave it alone. Moms will leave their babies in a safe place and come back later. Do not touch them, baby deer have no scent and this helps protect them from predators. Wait and watch for mom, if she doesn't come back within 48 hours give us a call.
