A few instructions if you find a fawn…

If you encounter a fawn that appears to be separated from its mother, follow these general rules and guidelines when attempting to reunite them:

• DO NOT TOUCH OR MOVE THE FAWN.
• Human and/or dog scents will NOT keep a doe from accepting the fawn.
• The fawn/doe bond is very strong. A fawn has a nursing cry to which a doe responds.
• You can also play sounds of a fawn calling for it’s mother from your smartphone to help attract the mother back to the baby.
• Keep people and pets away. If near a home, limit use of the area as much as possible.
