Two days ago, the wife called me at work. I work afternoons. She was all excited because a fawn was born in our driveway. She said the mother left it and went into the timber. She also wanted to keep it![] I explained that no, we couldn' t keep it but that she needed to kind of herd it towards the timber while not touching it or getting too close. She did. It layed down in the tall grass and made a kind of mewing sound. (Wifey video taped it) I told her to leave it along. A couple hours later she went back to where it had been and it was gone.

Think Mommy came and got it? Think a predator got it? Why would the mother just leave it like that? And why for God' s sake would the doe give birth in my driveway when there is timber and buffalo grass all over?

Maybe it was a buck and we' ll meet sometime in it' s sixth year when it' s rack it monsterous!
