we live on about 10 acres and we have about a half acre plot of timber on it. For the last few weeks i have been seeing a doe and a fawn pass threw regularly and today the fawn has stayed in the timber all by itself. It is very young probably about 25 pounds. I put some corn down there this evening but I dont know if its old enough to eat solids. I sure hope it make it.

Even though the fawns are still nursing, they are also browsing. Should make it unless a predator gets it.

I would tend to agree. It should be fine. Both it and the doe probably feel safe in the area otherwise they would not be using it.

It should be all right

this is cool.... i went down there this morning and found out that the deer is actually twins and they are browsing and doing fine.

yeah definately. i saw a pair of fawns about that size eating soybeans while their mom was in field corn eating. it was pretty cool.
