So was the mother deer OK?

QuiltnCowgirl 06-14-2011 06:24 PM

So cute! Did the mother deer take the baby back after it had been handled?

Qbee 06-14-2011 06:24 PM

Yes.....not sure what had happened. The baby started crying so Meg picked it up and then noticed the mother deer moving forward in the woods so she put the fawn down at edge of woods and mom came and got the little thing. It wasn't even walking at first. Poor Meg wanted to be "like Audrey Hepburn and have a 'pet' deer". She knows the baby is better off though.....the Sherrif's Dept was a HUGE help.

WHEW!!! I was worried Mom had been killed or something.

sewcrafty 06-14-2011 06:26 PM

That is soooo sweet! Did momma and baby get back together?

I guess I was typing this as you were posting. :roll:

What a precious picture!

I think fawns are the sweetest looking babies out there.
Does will place their fawns in a safe (to them) place and leave them while they forage for food. If anyone finds a fawn alone, it is usually best to take a "watch and see" approach before disturbing or "rescuing" the baby. The majority of the time the mother will return for her baby. If in doubt, you can always call a wildlife rescue/rehab facility for advice (many hotline numbers can be found online). Obviously, if the fawn is in danger from traffic, dogs or other hazards, you would want to keep it safe. Sadly, many fawns become orphaned unnecessarily each spring because well meaning people think they are abandoned and "rescue" them.

Awwww! You should frame that pic! How cool is that?

Leota 06-14-2011 07:54 PM

For several years, we had a doe that would bring her twin fawns into our front yard and the fawns would rest under the tree next to our deck.
They haven't been around for about 3 years... I miss my deer.. :(

sueisallaboutquilts 06-14-2011 07:58 PM

My husbands cousin had the same thing happen. The mother came up in the yard and left the babies, and then would go eat. Then the people started feeding them...and of course they stayed around. The doe was round for several years, and not afraid of people. We had a picnic at there place out in the country and the doe came right up on the deck and took an apple from someone. I think the babies grew up and went off, and then the mother stopped coming around too. Who knows what happened to them. I try not to think about it.

What a beautiful picture and memory!

arkansasquilter123 06-15-2011 03:52 AM

What a wonderful picture, so sweet. However, I do need to share this. A couple my dog was out doing her business one morning in our yard (we live in the woods) and I think she got too close to where a mama deer had her baby, and the mama deer attacked my dog and tore her up pretty bad. She was beating her with her front hooves. It was the scariest thing I have ever seen.

How cool, they are cute! We had a friend that raised one followed them all over and one day he saw his reflection in a window and jumped through the window and was cut up so bad that he didnt live! But they sure enjoyed him while they had him! was a good watch deer! as he would great visitors when they drove up!!

Marysewfun 06-15-2011 07:57 AM

We, too, are fortunate enough to live in the country and the deer trot through everybody's yards like kids - it is so neat so see them bringing a little newborn almost like they want you to meet them. :-)

My sentiments exactly when I read this!!! I love Audrey :)

CarrieAnne 06-15-2011 08:00 AM

cute!

Sneed 06-15-2011 08:04 AM

Do be careful! If you ever hear Mom make a blowing, whistling noise know to back away fast. Our deer in the country aren't that used to people, and are very protective of their young. We wouldn't dare go too close.

Jingle 06-15-2011 08:33 AM

Adorable picture. I am glad the Fawn and Mother are back together. I like stories with a happy ending.

lawsonmugs 06-15-2011 08:34 AM

How sweet is that picture????Very cute deer and daughter. Mary

Lynneander 06-15-2011 08:44 AM

Opal Jane 06-15-2011 09:29 AM

I am surprised the deer let your daughter pick him up.

gerswin 06-15-2011 09:32 AM

neat experience and a great memory for all involved :-D

dixiebelle162002 06-15-2011 10:50 AM

Oh! how very sweet and innocent! Your daughter is very beautiful and I'm glad that she got the baby deer to right people so that it could be taken care of .

Patchworkmarion 06-15-2011 12:01 PM
