Orphaned fawn

We don't know what happened to the mother, but this little guy showed up unattended. He's sharing his life with horses and goats and is being fed from a bottle. He's about the size of a small dog right now. This was taken while he was resting in one of the stalls in the barn.

Just so you know, Does leave fawns alone unattended every day. The best thing is to leave them alone. Legally, you should contact your Tn Game and Fish Commission, unless you know its mom is dead.

I agree with Keith.
A couple of years ago I was photographing a flying squirrel research project. While in the field camp one morning we found a fawn (beside the out-house of all things).
It was a very hot day and no sign of the doe.
After about 7-8 hours the doe appeared, at first she seemed to ignore the fawn until the fawn came out of the tall grass with it's tail waging like a puppy and immediately began to suckle.
Mid way through the day there were definitely discussions of abandonment and should we intervene.
Thankfully we waited it and I got some amazing photos.

Gawd, not another one!!

I agree with Keith here, I think this is the best thing to do.

Great shot thou.
