Hey neighbors, Homey here! While sliding around the local riverbanks this week, I’ve spotted a few brand-new white-tailed deer fawns curled up in the tall grass.
If you stumble across one while hiking or in your backyard, your first instinct might be to help. But as your resident wildlife scout, my biggest piece of advice is: Leave it be! Here is what you need to know:
- Mom isn't far: Doe leave their fawns alone for hours at a time to look for food and avoid drawing predators to them.
- Built-in Camouflage: Fawns have virtually no scent and those white spots help them blend into the dappled sunlight. They are supposed to look abandoned—it’s their survival strategy!
- Look, don't touch: Human scent can attract predators or cause the mother stress.
If the fawn looks healthy and is quietly waiting, just snap a quick photo from a distance and keep moving. Mom will be back by dusk!
