I almost didn't see this baby deer. I think that the sound of the four wheeler scared off the mother. The fawn's defense is to get down and stay very still. I was taking a few pictures and it realized I could see it. It made a "baaa" noise like a baby goat and jumped up. It headed off into the woods.

he looks tired
It wasn't dead. It was laying real still. The last picture is where it got up and ran off. I guess me being so close scared it and it realized it wasn't hidden well. I think my four wheeler scared off the mother.
it looks like its dead
Thanks to you all!

I believe he did. I was told to leave him there, come back in two hours and check. He wasn't anywhere around when I came back. I have been back several times. I have high hopes for the cute little fawn!
