See a fawn alone this spring? Here’s what the KCCA’s says you should do

With fawning season now underway, the Kettle Creek Conservation Authority (KCCA) is reminding residents not to disturb young deer found alone in the wild.

It’s common during spring and early summer for mother deer to leave their fawns hidden in tall grass or wooded areas while they forage for food.

While the young animals may appear abandoned, KCCA stresses this is a natural and necessary part of their development.

Unless a fawn is visibly injured or in immediate danger, officials say the best course of action is to leave it alone.
