Let fawns be, says DNR

In the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources’ weekly conservation officers’ reports, Cloquet’s Tony Elwell noted that abandoned fawn calls have been coming in. The DNR advised that, “if you find a fawn, please leave it lay even if you don’t see momma. Whitetail does commonly leave their young fawns tucked away for long periods of time while feeding a safe distance away to avoid drawing attention to their little ones.”
