The doe continues to keep her babies scent free by consuming her fawns urine and droppings. Doing so will help prevent attacks on our defenseless native wildlife.įawns are born scent-free and have white camouflage spots which protect them from predators. There is a leash law in Santa Cruz County so it is of the upmost importance to abide by the law and keep dogs confined to their own territory.
Most of those injured deer do not survive. Too often Native Animal Rescue receives injured deer due to attacks by dogs. As stated in site, it is of vital importance that we keep our dogs contained to prevent needless dog attacks on fawn as well as other wild animals. The fawnʼs natural predators are cougars, coyotes, bobcat and domestic dog packs. If a fawn is wandering aimlessly and crying, that may be an indication the mother may have been hurt and will not return. The only time a fawn should be picked up and brought to NAR is if it is obviously ill or injured. Mom is nearby and will go back to her baby when you are gone. Remember, if you encounter a fawn lying quietly in the woods, do not disturb. Once she senses the potential danger is gone, she will then rejoin her young. If however you do not leave the fawn alone, the doe will not return to her baby as she will sense danger. The mother will return and always take her baby back. Kidnapped fawns should be immediately returned to the exact location where they were found and the left alone. Sadly those fawn have been taken from the mother unnecessarily. The fawn is then brought to Native Animal Rescue by the “well meaning” people for rehabilitation.

Spring and summer is the time of year deer give birth to their young. To coexist with deer, they must be understood. In a world where contact with wildlife is more frequent, we may need to change some of our behavior to find ways to live with them. They now live close to our homes and towns. With rapid development of rural areas, deer are losing their natural habitats and are forced farther into suburbia. The California Mule deer and Black-Tailed Deer are closely related deer whose range covers much of the state of California.
