If you find a deer fawn, please follow these 3 simple rules: 1. Do not touch it. Unless it’s in immediate danger, such as in the middle of the road, don’t touch it. A mother deer will reject her young if she picks up the human scent. 2. Walk away quietly. 99% of the time the mother is very close by. (If you are walking your dog, put it on a lead.)

If you find an injured, sick deer or dead deer or if it’s unclear if the deer is injured or not, watch and wait for an hour or two. They may recover and wander off. After that time, if it’s clear that they need help, contact us on 0300 1234 999. Don't try to rescue, handle or transport the deer yourself.
Do not touch a fawn. If you believe it might have been abandoned, observe the fawn from a distance. If the fawn looks dirty or injured, is laying out flat, or is laying out in the open contact a local rescue centre.
Call your nearest wildlife rescue or an appropriate trained person to help you. Give them as precise a location as you can. We recommend using What3Words. If you can get a photograph or video of the deer and its injury this will help the rescue professional better assess the situation.
Sadly, we cannot admit orphaned fawns at the Wildlife Aid Foundation, as we do not have the resources to raise them. A fawn needs to bond with a single carer, while it is being reared, and we do not have the facilities to do this.
Apr 12, 2016 · However, especially in the case of fawns, not seeing any of the Five Cs may indicate the animal does not actually need to be rescued! A fawn’s primary defense mechanism is to stay completely still and quiet, nestled into whatever spot his mother placed him while she went off to forage.
Rescue. Deer fawns are known for being difficult to spot, but this unfortunate youngster left us all expecting the worst when he was run over by a tractor-pulled tine harrow not once, but TWICE.
