Ron, above, is correct in his first sentence...<br />and as I said in my comment above, she was nearby....<br />and that is what made it dangerous for Callie once she started chasing the fawn.<br />It is very fortunate that she responded immediately to Walt's command...<br />a very well trained dog!!<br /><br />TimLe Pré de la Forgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396822372095610004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-8211297893740886902015-06-04T15:59:27.208+02:002015-06-04T15:59:27.208+02:00Like Craig I wonder whether it had lost his mother...Like Craig I wonder whether it had lost his mother. Did it look ill or underfed? Poor little thing. In don't think it stands a chance if the mother is no longer around. If you see it again, you may consider adopting it :) ladybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05690656561242165157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-526529686811485342015-06-04T15:10:20.934+02:002015-06-04T15:10:20.934+02:00Walt,

Of course this sometimes works against them. I remember some years ago a neighbor (when we lived in Pennsylvania) was weed whacking some tall grass in a culvert on his land and accidentally killed a young fawn. One would think the fawn would have taken off when he/she heard the noise but it didn't and thus was accidentally killed. My neighbor felt so bad about accidentally killing that fawn. He was morose all summer. <br />That's a wonderful photo you captured. Always an adventure when you and Callie go for a walk!<br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-67292791250769401682015-06-04T15:08:14.400+02:002015-06-04T15:08:14.400+02:00Love seeing your local fawna....Love seeing your local fawna....Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824964122794535252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-84251344707350856062015-06-04T14:02:46.510+02:002015-06-04T14:02:46.510+02:00a deer who wandered into our yard (full grown) let...a deer who wandered into our yard (full grown) let me pat her (2 yrs in a row) & it was such a thrillmelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14337254308066184912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-8250854856805638112015-06-04T09:38:25.195+02:002015-06-04T09:38:25.195+02:00I've never heard of anything like that.

both to see the fawn ...Walt, you were very lucky...<br />both to see the fawn and not to have been charged at by the mother....<br />she would have been close by, feeding in the woods probably.<br />This looks like a Roe Deer fawn by the size of the grass...<br />a Red Deer could have killed Callie with one blow of a hoof....<br />they aim for the head... <br />when I was in forestry, a walker had their dog very badly injured by a mother Roe Deer...<br />the skin was peeled back from the skull and there was blood everywhere.<br />The dog, thank goodness, made a full recovery... <br />but was always walked through 'our' woods on a long length of cord...<br />the extending leads didn't exist in those days...<br />so, be very wary around fawns, the mother is always very protective.<br />A lovely thing to see, tho...<br />and isn't it always the case that you see the most interesting things when you haven't got the camera with you!!<br />TimLe Pré de la Forgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396822372095610004noreply@blogger.com
