What to do with a baby deer

[flatlander]

Glad it worked out, and I think your Mom did the right thing throughout. I couldn't imagine letting it lay there and get eaten up by fire ants.

good deal, glad it all worked out.

And the fawn lived happily ever after...

...Until it gets killed and cooked

I saved a fawn a few years back "1990" it was drowning in a bayou.
Took it to the house and cleaned it up and bottle fed it till it was good enough to walk around with the goats we had.
It was a buck and I named it Lucky-B.
Sad part is, after having him almost a year and he had nubs, the billy goat stomped him to death! I was really P*ssed off and killed that goat.
This deer was like a pet dog. He would come to you when you called him.

If the fawn is not reunited with the doe, I would either find some one or take care of it myself.

OK, I'll say it............."Give it another year"

Good deal, glad the doe took it back. She did right, what kind of nut would leave a baby deer in a fire ant bed???
