Very cool story. Thanks for sharing.

My guess would be that somebody shot his mom and hauled her off on an ATV. He associates the ATV with his mother. The only thing that makes me think that is two years ago I shot a doe. I didn't see the fawn when I shot her but while I was field dressing her the fawn walked up about 20 yds and stayed there. I put the doe in the back of my truck and the fawn followed me for almost two miles until I got up to a road I could speed up on. A couple of days later I went to the same location to hunt and after an unsuccessful hunt I was walking back to my truck and there was the fawn, trying to look into the bed of my truck. Again the fawn tried to follow me. After that day I didn't see it again but it was the next year before I went back to that spot. Just a thought.
