A fawn alone in a back yard is very normal on Jekyll Island. Does (i.e., female deer) will regularly stash fawns away in areas that they feel are safe places while they temporarily leave to forage. Neighborhoods with human activity are a great place to leave them safe from predators while the Doe forages. Does will return to their fawn later. Please give the Doe 8-12 hours to return before calling about an abandoned fawn.
