There is a newborn fawn deep in our garage. Our garage has been open for a total of 2 minutes today which makes me think that it's been in our garage for a while, 2 days ago I was mowing and a doe was hanging around so I'm nervous it's been in there for a couple days.

If I pick it up will the doe abandon it? I was always told that about calves but every calf I had to handle for one reason or another never got abandoned.

Wife is home right now and doesn't see a doe hanging around.

How should I get it out OB?

Just get it outside somehow. Mom will find it.
If it can't walk, then you have a problem and should call wildlife rescue near you.

Just got home and took it outside and put it under the shade tree to wait for mom. Thanks. Was a non-event.

Wife called animal rescue though because it can't walk.

That sucker can 100% walk. Might be a little dehydrated but it can for sure walk.

There may not be time to do the job right, but there is always time to do the job over!!

Nothing exciting to report. I put it outside, walked inside for a second, came back out and it was gone and I saw a big doe in the tall grass. Glad she didn't beat my ass carrying the baby out.

Sweet. I can tell the wife the fawn is alive and well. Thanks for the update!

I got fawns all over the place. One doe had her baby in our yard last week & they are bedding them down all along our driveway

Now I'll be checking my damn garage every night.

I fish one or two out of LBJ every year that can't get up over bulkhead. Set them in the shade and momma will come find them every time.

They are really good at the pretend game. Just like our kids.

That fawn can 100% walk. And run and kick some.
I don’t say this in a braggedocious way. But it’s true. I’ve been right about everything.

"Let me tell you something else. I've seen a lot of spinals, Dude, and this fawn is a fake. A goldbricker. This fawn walks. I've never been more certain of anything in my life!"

I'm glad your uncle didn't find out about the fawn before you got it out of there. Can only imagine what that would have turned into!

The doe seem to think my lot is a nursery. The first one I jumped this spring was when I dumped ashes from my Weber on it while it was hiding in tall grass. I'm not sure who was scared more.

Since then I've jumped 5 and I have one that hangs out every day in an agarita while mom is out eating. They are pretty brave once they figure out we aren't going to shoot them!
