The moment you saw the mother you walk away. She won't approach her baby in front of outsiders. Generating of being hunted has taught them better. Hope the little thing is still living a happy life

Thank you for being so nice to the baby and watching over it. Mother was so brave and good momma

That fawn is too cute for words!

I Had A Fawn , Very Smart , I Waited 2 Days To See If Mom Was Going To Come Back And Never Did , So I Brought Her Home With Me , I Was Mommy Then , She Followed Me Around , I Left Her Out In The Yard With My Mother And She Cried Til I Returned , I Live In The Country And She Comes Home Very Day To See Me .... She Is 9 Years Old Now And Has Had Babie's Of Her Own That She Has Brought To See Me ....

The mom is ALWAYS close by, she leaves and keeps a distance to protect her young. Baby is nervous of the human! So it called out...but normally you would not hear from the little one! Leave babies alone, mom is close, just trying to protect her baby. :)

Dude: Hay there, you okay? Where's your momma? Fawn: MOM MOM MOM MOM HELP APE IS TRYING TO KILL ME!

thats a biiiig healthy momma you dont want to be in her way. Is so adorable the baby instinct! and the quick response of mommy! Jeeeee!

I've lived in rural areas all my life and seen fawns and deer, but I've never seen anything that incredible before. To actually see a tiny fawn in the wild is rare, but to be able to see Mama come and get it is awesome. Our natural tendency is to want to "rescue" the adorable little things so that we can pet them, but if Mom is there, the natural life's really the best life for them. I loved the way you talked to the baby and the mama, and I found myself "talking" to Mom, too. Great video.

Frequently mothers hide their babies while they feed themselves... The babies are only in danger by those who won't leave them alone...Mama knows what she is doing.

also people think the fawn is abandoned cause its momma isnt around. well the fawn can't walk very good so momma leaves it in a hiding spot and only comes back to give it milk a few times a day. The fawn doesnt have a very strong scent but mom does so she stays away so she doesnt lead predators (foxes,coyotes,bears,mountain lions, even racoons) So just cause you watch the fawn for hours and momma never shows up it is NOT abandoned, leave it alone

"Are you hungry?" What were you expecting to hear? "I could go for a bologna sandwich, got any?"

Looks like momma deer was trying to teach baby deer a lesson on survival by keeping a short distance away, but close enough to respond in a dangerous situation. Maybe she was hoping the little guy would find her on his own. I am so in envy of your house location! I dream of living in such an area far from the big city and bright lights. I imagine your view of the night sky is stunningly beautiful on clear nights. Since moving to the city the beauty of a star filled sky has disappeared.

Loved the way that mother ran.

Good momma

Us humans always want to help - and rightly too - but the baby was just scared of the man, there wasn't anything else wrong. The mother was fine, she was just feeding nearby and left her baby in a safe spot. That's normal. She ran across the yard to try to distract the guy (who she thought was a predator) away from her baby. If you see a fawn like this, just walk away and leave it alone so the mother can come back.

I think what you're supposed to do when the Mom comes back is step aside. If she she's a human by the baby, she will be more reluctant to go to the baby, and will wait for the human to leave.

Oh wow, hunting season must be rough out there. These deer are terrified of humans. Our local deer are skittish of humans, but never that scared. It's fascinating to see the difference in environments, that the deer in a peaceful environment never cry out in the presence of a human (they do not get hunted in their territory) or in general. It's kind of heartbreaking to see such an adorable creature recoil so horribly at the sight of a human, as I'm so used to them sniffing at me and being generally curious, watching them play with our cats and our dog. I've watched them play with the rabbits. I'll go out to cut down the alder tree's growing in my back yard and next thing I know I'm surrounded by deer dining on the freshly fallen foliage with a baby deer waiting patiently for me to fall another one. I've seen them run from dogs, and the mothers go from very peaceful to bloodlusting battering rams (i've seen a deer chase a dog for an hour straight attempting to stomp it to death for trying to attack it's child). Both those deer were really tense, I'm a little surprised the mother wasn't more aggressive and confrontational. They look terrified. Poor things must have a real hard life... thank you for being so sweet to that fawn, but don't be too nice... something tells me those deer wouldn't last long if they trusted humans to any extent.

I am always amazed to hear humans talking to a wild animal as if some how the animal understands what they are saying.

I live in East Texas and we have a sizeable white tail population. I was driving to work one night on a county highway and noticed a big doe just standing in the road. I slowed then stopped and she bolted to the other side of the highway. I walked back to where she had been standing and there was a week old fawn that had just been hit. Sadly it was beyond my help but I knew that the mother would be next if I didn't get the fawns body off the road. I moved it well off the road and shed a few tears. The mother doe could grieve safely and hopefully live to produce a new fawn.

Man: Are you ok? Fawn: OMG MOM! SAVE ME

Mama put her baby near your house on purpose. She felt it would be safer there than elsewhere.

Mother ran pass instead of to the fawn. She was trying to distract you and get you to follow her away from the fawn.

Woah! I didn't even see him at first...cute.

Good job handling that situation...Im happy that there are still people like you that won t go for guns...

When you see a baby deer (fawn) in the wild or near your home, don't disturb or bother him. His mother will come soon.

that is so awesome .wish i lived somewhere like that .

*whine* "Hey there!" *whine* "It's okay!" No it's not. That's why I'm *whine* "Are you all right?" *You're HUGE! Get outta here! MOMMA!!!!*

BECAUSE IT'S SO GOD DAMN CUTE!

Cute little baby. 😍😍😍

very glad you didnt touch it. most people dont know that fawns are scentless so any hint of human scent and the mom will abandon them. Kudos to you! and great footage too

this reminded me of Bambi when he calls "mother"!

*Sigh* I just love a happy ending! Great video catch!!

But if someone thinks it's been "abondoned" and moves it, the mother cant find it again and thats one less deer that will ever be wild. (and knowing that most people who "adopt" baby animals are the ones that havent the slightest idea how to care for them and they die)

mama finally comes to save the baby deer

I seen somwhere that mother deer will leave the fawn while she goes out to get food and come back later in the day. Looks like a prime example here.

just beautiful

I just "LOVE" deer. They are my favorite animal. And I would never hunt them.

This man talking to this baby even I was expecting answer.

Precious!

Geez man go in the house and then the mom won't be afraid to get her baby.

This is nice - a happy ending!

out of all the baby deer videos ive ever seen, this is the only one that ever reminded me of Bambi. :)

That's was awesome. Thanks for sharing.

The mom did what all deer moms do. She ran around to try to distract any danger from her babe.

Omg so cute and the yelps

God bless you

Dude if you want her to get the fawn the. Go in the damn house.

she's trying to lead u away from the fawn I've seen then fake injuries to entice a predator to go after them instead of the babies birds to this as well its a defense mechanisms nice vid

momma to the rescue :)

Good to see someone willing to let Nature take her course. Annoys the crap out of me when folks see a bay left, ASSUME, it is an orphan, takes it w=away from Momma. Momma WILL RETURN, she needs to eat f=to feed her youngster. If You need to care for something, get a gerbil, but leave wild critters ALONE, at least Long enough, days, until you KNOW it's orphaned.

MOMMA TO THE RESCUE!!!

GREAT OUTDOOR VIDEO. THAT BABY DEER IS SWEET, MOM COMES OUT OF THE BLUE TO CHECK ON BABY. . THANKS FOR SHARING. GOD BLESS.

beautiful!

You're lucky you got to see that side of the story. Im sitting here looking up this shit because I saw the wrong side. but props to you for putting real content out there.

Get in the house

Aaaaaaawwwww so cute 🥰 glad it’s okay

hahah i love this video. i love how you ensured the mom that you weren't hurting her child! aww!

never fear super mom is here!!!!! :3

That baby deer seems to be very hungry!

LOVELY FAWN

Such a cute fawn! Look at its little spots!

That is so cute ^__^

When I saw the mom running, I tensed up for the CCCRAAAAASSSHHHHH!

I don't think deer's can understand English.

I had the same thing happen to me today walking home from a convenient store i thought it was hurt but then saw momma across the street. I think moms will leave them to find food but wont go far

awww thats cute

I love this a lot

Love animals

The primary defense a mother deer employs when their fawn is in danger is to take off running to draw attention away from their baby. She lingered hoping the filmer would chase her and leave the fawn alone. It's already been said but abandoned fawns are almost never abandoned, leave them alone.

Best left alone

Awwww

Doe to the rescue!

Yes. It's a myth that baby animals (birds, deer, etc.) will be abandoned by their parents if a human touches it.

She was afraid of you, that's why she wouldn't come.

Sooo Cute, its tempting to want to pet them, I'm glade you didn't Good job!!! .

for the record people watching this... leave the deer alone the mom was eating not dead

omg so cute

This is amazing! I've never seen the mama come running like that.

Awesome

~Enter dramatic slowly getting louder music~ MOTHER ENTERS SCENE! Mom: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Baby Fawn: MEH!

Mother deer doe wants all the smoke when it comes to their fawns.

You got an awesome house brother 🏡...

I like the way you 'shoot' a deer! That was so cute and I am glad her mommie didn't abandon her. Thank you for being one of the good guys! :)

Aw :)

Momma was running so fast!

so touching

Very nice.

Awesome Nature

МАМА РЯДОМ🤗ЭТО ХОРОШО🙏

I know you’re kind & wanted to help the faun but I seriously wanted to scream at you: Go back inside your house so the Mom isn’t afraid to get her baby!

That Fawn was not lost. Thats how fawns hide so the mother can go eat. The man scared the fawn thats why it gave the distress call.

Baby: MAMA MAMA MAMA!!! Mother: ugh not again another human :0

I would love to see this but unfortunately I live right by a busy road...maybe someday I will get to see something like this

Sounds like Born Free: Deer Edition =]

She ran through trying to divert your attention to her in an effort to save her fawn. I envy where you live....awesome....

That was the MOM!

Awwww you sound sweet, and very compassionate about animals. ^_^ this is a very cute video by the way, and it sounds like the fawn is saying "Hey, Man, and ma" XD .

I guess the mom expected the fawn to come to her. xD

i wish we could talk to animals.
