Anyone know of a animal rehabilitation place that would come get two abandoned fawns??? The've been here for two days with no mom to be found. Very small, two to three days old max.
Looking for fawn rescue

I pulled into a parking lot today with a bunch of yuppy milfs standing around half cryin on the cell phones because a fawn was in the lot at the base of a 4' retaining wall with the doe on top of the wall in the woods loudly bleating to it.
I scooped up the fawn, put it on top of the wall and it stumbled over to it's mom. You'd think I saved one of their children the way they acted.[eyeroll]
Pick em up, put em in the woods and be done with it. It's nature not disney.[wallmad]

Been seeing alot of roadkill deer lately. I think the mothers move around alot more after thay drop their babies. Mom could have been a victim. Good luck, do what you feel is best.

I agree with everyone. Leave them alone and they will be fine. It's best not to interfere with Mother Nature.

haven't see any dead deer in CG or LF lately. I'm always going through there. good luck.
Last year a friend calls oh you have to come up to my house a fawn is in my flower bed for 2 days is weak and can't stand up. I go up and yes the the fawn was weak and looked sickly. I go down by the wood line and see 2 does and suspect one is the mother? I told him back away and leave it alone and either it dies or they will come get it. What am I going to do if it dies then? Ok I will come burry it for you then because mother nature is taking care of it!!!!!!!!!!!
A day later I got a call hey, guess what the mother came and got it and they walked off together. Gee I guess mother nature knows best don't she. He asked how did you know that was going to happen. I didn't I knew one way or the other it was going to make it or die and if it died there was a reason and not human intervention as some have the need they think to do. Every situation is differant granted and it has to be assessed as well but don't you think mother nature will take care if it is to be?

I get alot of these calls Just like this I tell them leave them alone Mom is close if it stays there for a week or die s I will come get it I have never got a call back a few I called back said mom showed up and they was fine. when they are real young mom stay as far away as she can until the young can run or move pretty good. even then she will not be close.
Update...sorry I've been busy and haven't been online in a while. I took the fawns and placed them in a woodlot that is about 100 yds away from the busy roadway and houses, just because i felt that maybe they wandered off in that storm and mommy wasn't gonna look for them between all the homes. Well an hr after I let them go a doe walked up to them and hung around them for an afternoon till My neice had to go babysitting. We never saw them again after that..
Thanks for the update Super X,
Looks like most of the posters were right - leave them alone (they were cute huh?). I've heard that nursing does will "adopt" abandoned fawns. That's probably why your bleat call works so well on does, early during bow season. I always feel funny calling in a mom with a fawn bleat, and won't shoot one with fawns - oh well I guess I'm really an anti underneath the deerslayer, turkey killer, pheasant shooter, groundhog slammer crust... [rofl][rofl][rofl]

I used to love that, hearing the 22.250 bark and watching it hit it's mark 300yds away.[eek] Or stalking up with bow and arrow and sticking one at 30yds.... Good times. Now with 2 kids, 2 jobs and don't forget a wife[cry], I barely have time to turkey hunt.
