I found a fawn not more than two months old laying in the middle of the river last year. I have never seen this in my life. I was smallmouth bass fishing and walk within 30 yards of it. It saw me first then proceeded to scare the crap out of me as it was splashing and running toward the bank. I thought it was a beaver until I saw its spots. I immediately walked around so I would not scare the little guy any more. It just stood there, starring at me. The water depth was about ankle deep. I looked back when I was approx. 100 yards from it and it returned to where it was originally laying. I fished my way back toward it again later but it had left.
