Fawn-Whitetail Deer

I was looking for whitetail deer fawns with their mothers and did not expect to find a newborn.  I got within three steps of this one before seeing it.  The fawn never moved except for blinking an eye and breathing.  The doe had hidden the fawn and apparently left to feed.  I made a circle of about 30 yd radius and did not find a twin.


I most certainly did not bump the doe.  But I had previously seen one about 75 yds away in heavier cover and suspect that she could have been the mother.
