You found a white tail fawn? PLEASE! Leave it there!
White tail deer fawns are born in late May or early June. Since they are wobbly at first, the mother will leave them in what she considers a safe place, while she goes off to graze so she can feed them. This will often be out in the open in the sun, or even in a fenced in yard. She will be nearby watching and will return occasionally to check on the fawn and feed it. By sunset, she will usually retrieve the fawn and keep it with her until morning. She may even bring her baby back and leave it in the same place 2 or 3 days in a row, if she feels comfortable with the spot. A very young fawn will lie completely motionless and often blends in with the environment. Older fawns will lie still and watch until you get too close before they bolt. Unless a fawn is obviously injured, the best thing to do is leave it alone. If you have ANY doubts regarding the fawn's well-being, contact a wildlife rehabilitator for advice before attempting to capture it. A rehabber will ask questions to verify the fawn's condition and then will give you experienced advice on how to proceed. Don't be surprised though if the rehabber tells you the baby is fine and to let mother deer take care of him!
