Thats awesome!!!!

Very cute still..........
Cute!
What is the story that goes with this photo?
Unfortunately Momma was hit by a car the night before and this little one was left all alone.
I found him/her, never checked, hiding under a truck near the spot where the mother was killed. Pretty cool, never had a deer lick my hand before.

that,s neat, what happen to the mother?
I guest I type to slow.
I called one of our animal control officers and had the little guy/gal taken to a whitetail shelter that we have here locally.

I pulled one out of a square link fence a couple of years ago. Little guy was just big enough where its hind quarters got caught. As i was holding it reveling in the moment after he quit screaming bloody murder my brother was yelling at me to put it down. I could tell by the conviction in his voice that he was being very serious I turned and looked behind me and mom was standing on her hind legs about ten feet from me wielding her front hooves around like a couple of razor blades. Needless to say I put him back on the other side of the fence. Neet experience anyway.
I've never picked up a baby fawn, that's cool. Too bad about the doe.
We found these two at work right after the flood waters receded last July. Where they are laying was under 10-12' of water the day before. We didn't see momma but we left them there and didn't move them. I took these pictures at a distance of about 10 feet and got lots closer for individual portraits. They really acted unconcerned with us being that close.

Awesome! I was a humane officer and we had a doe we raised from a fawn when her mom was hit. She acted just like a dog. It was really neat.
Great photo
Those little fawns just melt my heart & make me smile. Leland
Thats too cool
thats really cool. how many times can someone say they have held a fawn
Now how do you expect me to go shoot one?
Pick a spot and release, that's how! very cool pics, never been able to hold a fawn before either.
I have a friend that found a deer who lost his mom, he was a little nubby buck when they found him and they have been raising him ever since! He comes when they call him and even lives inside, he's 2 now and they had to cut his antlers off because he had a tendency to poke them when he wanted to be let outside. He's like a dog. I couldn't believe it when I heard it either until he showed me pictures of it eating crackers out of his dads mouth in their living room!!! I was shocked, it was awesome!
Very cool. Brings back some memories. Last year we pulled a less than 1 day old fawn (still had umbilical cord attached) from a fox as it dragged it across my folks yard. Dang thing imprinted on my dad and was following him around the basement. We were able to place it with a rescue group. They had a doe that took the fawn in. Two days later we had a doe that wouldn't leave. Kept circling the yard and bedding. The fox also hung around for almost a week. It was pacing around looking for that fawn. It would curl up in the back yard and nap. I used to mess with it by sneaking out the side door and blowing a fawn call. Thing went crazy looking for its lost meal. Eventually, both left.
Thanks for the pic.

Mike, sorry I didn't see your post till just now, this shot was taken back in september if I recall.
Dennis,
Those are great photos.
Not too sure my dogs would go for having a deer living in the house with us, they're big doogs, but I think the deer would be bigger. Would be a great conversation starter that's for sure!
