Most likely that was a nubbin. Alot of nubbins now are starting to leave mom on their own or they just leave her earlier than she would leave the bedding area to go feed and they meet up later somewhere. Seems like nubbins tend to drift in and out with mom and some just leave mom. Doe fawns tend to stick with mom always but sometimes now this time of year they will do the same and go off feeding on their own if they get hungry and mom will meet up with them later. WCL
