  • clap clap you did good job.. The mother was very worried about her baby so you recue fawn and give fawn to mother.. Im sure fawn's mother say thank you and tell fawn lets go .. God bless you.. I read other comment said if you touch fawn and the mother will push fawn away, depend on, like fawn in stuck and no way to get out then the mother will need our help and get fawn then give fawn to mother.. If fawn in hide and safe without stuck, maybe mother push it away, I don't know.. maybe me wrong =)

  • @mythoughtwhatyousay1 What usually happens in that case is that the fawn is not in the same spot and the mother simply cannot find it again, since the fawn's instinct is to remain silent when it's waiting for its mother. Quite the opposite here, of course; the fawn was making a racket which is how I discovered its predicament in the first place.

  • What lovely  deer

  • u all did a great thing for the mom and baby deer. shows compassion. the bom deer show u a thank u in the video, by pounching ina circle. while looking at u- them.she was gratful .

  • I don't get it. What was wrong? The deer got to the other side of the dense and couldn't get out? Huuuuuuuuh???

  • @cs231951 Exactly. It slipped beneath the fence on the hill and became trapped in that neighbor's back yard which was completely fenced all the way around.

  • But no one is suppose to touch a baby dear for the mother wont accept the baby dear back, thats why the mother ran away after smelling the fawn. Now the mother couldnt recognize the baby. Baby dear dont have any scent so preys wont attack it.

  • @fremy123 That is a common myth. It is not true, however.

  • Ok, this is a bit from Open Season 3 they diden't include:

    Giselita is found by someone and someone gets the heck beaten out of em by here mother, Giselle

  • Don't listen to any negative comments. Way to Go. You saved that fawn. A #1

  • I love a happy ending!

  • What a happy ending for the fawn and it's momma. You all did good! :)

  • hahah i love how she smells it, making sure it's hers, or not too humanified.

  • you suck at operating a camera. we didnt even get to see anything past when the neighbor came out and pet it. its frustrating to watch. its really not that difficult just look though the camera and make sure the action is visible to u.

  • @harryshuler ...and then get pummeled by the angry mother deer because you're not paying attention.

  • @harryshuler Don't you hate it when people don't read the video descriptions and then curse at the poster for something that has been explained there?

  • See how quiet the baby is? That's instinct and probably would have died there or attacked by dogs without the help these people gave it. Mom would have found the baby...hopefully they lived till the fall so they could be shot by some great white hunter.

  • @1955JAFO People don't hunt deer out there. The mother of course had found the fawn but couldn't get to it because the fawn had gone downhill under the fence and couldn't get back out. The fawn's cries were what alerted me to the problem, as I saw the mother there by the fence trying to figure out how to get to the fawn.

  • Good job guys =)

  • only thing ida done different is i would have just picked it up i wouldnt have let it run an tak longer to rescue but as a hunter u want all the young ones to get bigger u never kno if it was gonna b a big buck one day

  • Good job!

  • @readonly99 The mother would just lick away the unfamiliar scent. They're not like birds or rodents. It's more likely that a human would abandon a baby than a mother deer would abandon a youngling.

  • hes not a moron...... can u see the babies ears are curled up??? that means it is dehydrated!!! and no mama coming back for one reason or the other....I havent read all ur comments...... but chances are slim u found mom.. even if you... they usually wont take them.... but it does happen.. good luck... ur awesome. !

  • @readonly99 ..Thats not true. The 1st video on my page shows two fawns. I had contact with them when they were babies. The mother came and got aggressive, but didn't abandoned them. In the video, they are older and mom comes into the shot at the end.

  • GOOD JOB.

    GREAT VIDEO !

    Every once in a while critters need our help. Glad you stepped in!

    I fed two abandoned possums last year. I left them outside. tthey would go hide during the day and i would feed them at night. One still comes now and then and eats from my hand.

  • @readonly99 It was not put there by its mother. It fell beneath the fence on the slope and could not get back out. The mother had been there trying to get to it. I've read multiple articles dispelling the myth. In fact, here's one: "Wildlife biologists suggest not picking up or handling a baby deer found in the wild. It is a myth that the mother will abandon the baby if human smell is present, but moving the fawn to a supposedly safer location can interfere with the mother's finding it again."

  • @Keeper1st You are absolutely correct.

  • @readonly99 Shows what you know -- or rather what you don't. It is a total myth that a fawn would be abandoned following human contact, as you can see here when the mother and fawn leave together. You can look it up also. But I guess you would have preferred we let the fawn die there.

  • learn how to use a cam dude

  • @mooseballs44 learn how to read a description dude

  • Thank you sosososo very much for reuniting the two. it was beautiful. thank god the mother didn't hurt you. I got chased by a deer once haha

  • omg fail camera man.

  • @bombumdam omg description reading fail man

  • @Keeper1st  true, It just felt like there was so much action and I couldnt see it :(

  • @bombumdam Yeah, I was disappointed when I looked at it. (Couldn't exactly do a re-take!) The human hand/wrist is naturally predisposed to pointing the camera downward when the arm is outstretched, which is what I was doing, hoping the camera's LED would keep the mother deer from lunging at us, while my head was turned to watch the rescue effort.

  • @Keeper1st Hey man don't let these fools trash talk, you made the right choice in keeping the mother visible, one false move and she would've been all over you and that women. Next time bring something to fend her off if you have to.

  • another deer in distress cause of human feeding them DONT FEED THE WILDLIFE

  • @wc31966 It had nothing to do with humans feeding it. It was just a gap at the bottom of a fence on a hillside. The fawn fell through the gap and couldn't get out.

  • @Keeper1st Good you didnt feed it and lucky moma deer didnt hurt you

  • the focus should be on the rescue activity!  camerawork here is not important.

  • Big heart, no camera skills

  • @dmarkj22 I have plenty of camera skill when I'm actually paying attention to the camera, which in this situation I was not. I just had it running and blindly held it up. I wasn't looking at exactly where it was pointed. Unfortunately it ended up being lower than I wanted most of the time, but in that situation, it was potentially dangerous to look through the camera.

  • that was a great close up of the deer. i loved the video. i hope one day i can get close to deer but they run from me. i see them everyday in my backyard.

  • awh thats that sweetest thing i have ever seen in my whole life, thankgod, the mother didnt abandon the baby when you came to save it :')

  • My first thought: oh shit! Mama is on your side. :S

  • nice leaves

  • @SSgtParmer It's not staged, so I couldn't go back and re-do it! As stated in the description, I wasn't looking through the camera to see where exactly it was pointed. I just had it running as everything happened. But it's a real event that happened in my life, hence it is posted. That's what YouTube was made for.

  • What you did for the baby deer was nice, however I was getting a headache from watching your video......keep a steady hand and move slooooooooowly

  • Nice camera work. >_>

  • @Vilemk0 Try recording without ever looking through the viewfinder. Situational awareness was more important.

  • @Keeper1st Pfft! Two words for you pal, Australian Television. D=

  • awwww that was really cool of you guys. I bet that mommy deer was so happy to have her little baby back.

  • Very well done! You did the absolute minimum when dealing with wild animals. That's the best thing when they're healthy and with Momma close by.

    She's was an exceptionally good one, too! Loved how she managed to stomp at you without hitting the fawn.

  • too cute!

  • that would have made a fine roast...

  • omg, when you find a baby fawn like that, it doesnt mean the mother abadoned it

  • She hadn't abandoned it. She was with it at the time we heard its cries. It was trapped behind the fence, having managed to slip underneath. Neither mother nor fawn could reunite without human intervention.

  • cool video

  • AWW THATS SWEET HOW THA MAMA RAN TO iT.

  • PS I love the ending, thank you again!

  • Thank you for reuniting mama and baby, your video skills are not in question here....

  • Nice video of leaves and fence, but just a few seconds of the deer. Take a course in video editing at the very least. You can touch deer, or it's fawn, the idea that you're not supposed to is from ignorant city people who have an imagination of what rules of nature are. In reality, they are very easy creatures to deal with, wild or domesticated.

  • How exactly would video editing magically make the deer enter into frame? Read the description. I wasn't looking through the camera because I was paying attention to the angry mother running around just a few feet away.

  • that happened once to me also, I saw a little fawn get tangled up in some wire fence while out walking and a couple of neighbors and I freed it. That was the first time I ever heard a baby deer cry like that, it sounds strangely like a lamb bleeting almost.

  • Amazing job!! This is such a nice video. The mommy was scaring me too for a bit! And that baby is so much smaller than i thought it was O_O. That was really nice of you to help it! <33

  • They're only left alone by the mothers when they are very tiny and thus incapable of following them for food. After a few days, they're large enough to tag along. Many people see a baby deer and think that it has been abandoned, when really it's normal for them to be left on their own routinely for their first few days. They go find someplace secluded to sit in and sit very still so as not to attract predators. Only this time it found a place it couldn't get out of when mama returned!

  • why would you take the fawn away from its mom

  • We didn't; we gave the fawn back. It somehow had slipped under the fence and got trapped on the other side.

  • wait did u touch it because u arent supposed to

  • That's a myth. It's perfectly all right to touch a fawn. They won't be abandoned because of it.

  • Your right , that is a myth. good job though. I would of helped to I love deer.

  • nice vid i cryed a little just posted a video of deer

  • That was interesting and now I know its the babies crying in the woods I hear. I have a whole bunch of deer and babies but this is the first for me to hear the cries.

    The stomping also means anger or aggression I see. Thank you for saving the baby and giving back to mommy.

  • that was really good of you but it must have been a little frightning because the mother deer was paniking because she thought her baby was introuble

  • Yeah, that's why I missed most of the action on the camera; I couldn't pay attention to exactly where it was pointing.

  • Ah, that was nice to rescue the cute little fawn..ya done good there!

  • That seriously had to be an interesting experience, Keeper. Kind of surprised you guys didn't get hurt with the mother acting rather agreesively there.

  • With three of us, she kept her distance. When it got down to two, she got closer. When for a moment it was just me, and I was crouching down to get video of the fawn, I had to stand up to keep her from charging me. And when the baby squeaked, everything was so hectic with the mother jumping everywhere, obviously I couldn't pay attention to where I was pointing the camera since I had to look around all the time.
