Default RE: Question about a fawn?

I've always heard that if you touch a fawn and get your scent on it then the mother will not take it back UNTIL this year. Now, I've heard from several different sources that a doe will take a fawn back if you touch. So I don't know what's true now.

A few weeks ago, we did have a fawn curled up and laying in the middle of the road at about 12:45 p.m. about 200 ft. down the road from our driveway. There were about 4 cars that stopped and one of the people in the cars actually raises deer (and has a permit) so she took it home with her. Hopefully it's doing okay.
