Default RE: Twin Fawns *with video*

Not sure how accurate it is but I've read that fawns are odorless therefore hard for animals like coyotes to locate. Since the fawns run very slow, does will actually leave them when they feel danger and then come back to find them once they feel safe again. That way they carry the scent out of the area and the fawns can hide easily in the brush. I had the same thing happen to me about one to two months ago. I was working in the same area of our woods for about 20 minutes when I heard something run off behind me. I turned around just in time to see the smallest fawn I've ever seen run over the side of the hill. I found where it was curled up next to a tree the entire time about 10 yards from me. The mother was nowhere in sight. It couldn't have been more than a week old. It was a pretty neat experience.
