Everyone should read @HappyDaze's post. She knows what's what.

I did take HappyDaze's post to heart, and what I did with Bambi was done from lack of knowledge and innocence, but GFP explained it very well to me. I was just happy that my Golden didn't attack it or a fox or coyote think it would make a tasty dinner. I had been on the acreage 14 years and never seen a Bambi so up close and personal on my lawn.

@GingerPeach thank you, that was a kind thing to say. I have no doubt OP meant well- as most people do when they think an animal is injured or abandoned- but I just wanted to give some info for others who may come across a young animal and whose first instinct is to take them home. Best bet is to contact a wildlife rescue facility and ask what they should do if one is not sure.

@MaggieMack you'd be amazed at how many have actually been around very near to you, and you haven't even known they were there. Many times deer will leave their young near humans that have never been a threat to them. They instinctually know that they are less likely to be predated upon because coyotes, mountain lions, and othe predators tend to stay away from human areas, especially if dogs are present. Just an interesting tidbit.

Hi @MaggieMack

I am not faulting you in any way. When I say "everyone," I mean anyone who happens to read this thread so they can become educated as well. HappyDaze knows a lot about animal welfare. So, no, that sentence was in no way directed at you.

@MaggieMack How cute! I used live on a very wooded area. I was walking through the woods and I almost stepped on Bambi (just like your picture. I slowly backed off, and left the area. I went back to check and Bambi was gone 1/2 hour later....Mama must have moved her. I was worried too... as the area was full of coyotes.

Now you know why Bambi is my avatar...lol

Love yours too... I've had several Golden Retrievers. They are the best dogs on the planet. I now have downsized to cocker spaniels...still miss my golden's though.

OOPS.. I just realized maybe you don't have Goldens... lol! I love your dog and avatar either way.

we have a lot of deer around our area....white tail......it used to be VERY wooded area, now it is much less, but the deer have stayed around the area. sometimes they are in groups of 6 or 8. it is rutting season right now. they are beautiful to watch. yesterday there were two eating the leaves off of a bush in the backyard.

@sunshine45 ... That is what I miss the most. We lived in a area that looked like forest preserve. Wildlife were our closet neighbors. I loved it in the Spring & Fall ... when you see the most activity.
