His mother probably stashed him there so she could go eat. She’ll be back for him. Mama deer do that routinely. It’s normal.
Yup, this is an annual occurrence. The local neighborhood deer and I are cool so my yard is one of their drop off zones for the babies.
So you are some kind of local animal daycare center? That sounds pretty awesome tbh
It means she thinks their yard is safe. Big compliment from the animals <3
Dude, you’re not dull, you’re a Disney Princess!
Oh dear.
This is very neat.
I had this happen last year, but in my back yard. The mother was stashing the baby in a relatively safe place, while she foraged. She returned maybe once in the afternoon and then in the evening. The fawn has an instinct to lay low, so likely will not move around much. They moved on after a few days.
Woah this happens often? It would be cool if you had an image gallery showing all the times it happened before and update it with each new occurrence

I love seeing these guys! Very cute!
You’re so lucky!
Seems kind of young to be having babies.
