[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5055109, member: 20594"] When I read about the fawn who was listed as abandoned with cause of death as starvation I wonder if researchers handling, weighing and measuring the fawn could have contributed to the abandonment? Doubtful I guess, just curious? The reason I ask this as even remotely possible is many years ago a friend was cutting hay and jumped a mama doe.... friend got off tractor and discovered her fawn....so he moved the fawn over a little and cut hay around the fawns new location towards edge of the field.....he came back for the next three days and fawn was in same location with no mama in sight....fawn appeared to be abandoned and getting weak......so while illegal (I know)...he took the fawn.... bottle raised it...year or two later it was a four point pen raised and in November it busted out of pen and was free.....he was getting close to letting it go anyway because it was doing so good Anyway....it appeared him handling and moving the fawn wasn't a good move to start with....which made me wonder if researchers handling fawns could skew the results in some cases? Doubtful....just curious. [/QUOTE]
