TheMinnesota Department ofNatural Resources (DNR) isurging people to leave fawnsalone.While a new fawn may appearhelpless, it’s importantnot to interfere with the doe’snatural instinct for raising itsyoung, DNR officials said.A doe’s method of rearingoffspring is different from ahuman’s, especially for thefirst few weeks.Wildlife officials explainedit this way: Within hours ofbirth, the fawn is led to a secludedspot and the doe lets itnurse. Then the doe leaves tofeed and rest herself, out ofweather,The Irish will hostHutchinson at 7:30 p.m.Friday, May 24.Green Isle will hostYoung America at 6 p.m.Monday, May 27.DNR urges people to leave fawns alonesight but within earshot. Infour or five hours, she will returnto feed her young andtake them to a new hidingplace. Only when the fawnsare strong enough to outrunpredators, do the young travelmuch with their mother.For the first week of life,frightened fawns instinctivelyfreeze, making full use oftheir white spotted coats, aprotective coloration. Newbornfawns are not fastenough to outdistance predators,so they must depend ontheir ability to hide for protection.A fawn’s curiosity may enticeit to approach a personwho comes upon on it.
