Default RE: Question about a fawn?

I ageee with those folks that said the doe will definitely accept her fawn back. I have heard of farmers moving fawns, to keep them out of harm's waythat are laying in their fields. They then see the same fawn later running with it's mother.

The presumption that the doe will not be very far away in very accurate. When a doe has (2) fawns she will separate them to increase their odds of survival. Although fawns has virtually no scent, their urine and fecal matter do, so that is why she will move them to a new location. This is usually done about every 24 hours.

Bottomline...I think the fawn will be just fine.
