maplewood said:The fawns are usually laying down, resting/hiding.
Dad was thinning some crowded fir with his Stihl a few weeks ago when a fawn jumped up and ran off.
It was only 5' from him! And the saw was running! I bet the fawn's heart was running, too!
He never saw it until it ran. It was curled up at the base of a 6" fir.
Dad didn't see the mother. Good thing....
