If you are fortunate enough to be living in the suburbs & are attracted to what you see in the shorts below be 'prepared' for that little visitor @ the door! If you are residing upon tillable acreage you already have them on property. Have goats milk formula on hand along with a baby bottle with nipple. A latex glove with several needle punctures in the tip of the little finger sleeve(I've used them on kid/baby goats) will suffice for tiny mouths. Be aware that momma is usually close by(if she is not already a road kill) her little one(s) & some mommas can become quite aggressive(see vid below) if she senses danger to her little one(s). The best move is a feed manger or just several synthetic or galvanized tubs(oval shaped is the best). If you can pull in the herd to a prepared feeding station one will automatically have access to those ultra precious fawns! Melons(watermelon, honey dew, cantaloupe) & assorted fruits/vegetables like apples/pears/grapes/carrots & strawberries will pull them in like steel shavings to a magnet. A mineral salt lick(apple scented) is a BIG plus as are shelled peanuts & mixed nuts($pendy).
A sprinkling of 'feed' oats per feed tub really helps but don't overdo the oats as deer will gorge themselves on oats. I avoid both barley & wheat & ESPECIALLY CORN for deer feed as a bloated deer corpse really ruins the show.
Below; Black-Tailed fawns(most popular deer breed for pets).

The young fawns are really innocent/gullible & soak up affection like a sponge soaks up water. The fawn below has already adopted this logger in a few scant moments illustrating just ONE reason WHY people get strung out on them like a person strung out on heroin.
The below vid illustrates what I said above about the mommas being VERY protective of their fawns. I am not sure of what breed this doe is but for sure she is a YOUNG mama. She has the characteristic ridgeback stripe down her neck & back like a Columbian Black-Tailed deer features plus the brown 'hat' upon her forehead & her small size mimics a Black-Tailed deer or more likely the size of the Sitka deer breed, but she is definitely not a Black-Tailed deer for sure. The two kind hearted gentlemen deserve kudos for a rescue well done!
