it's a little odd that he's not laying down.

CrimeDad OP ,

He was slowly laying down as I took the photo and eventually did. However, he only had a few minutes to relax before my dog scared him off.

please keep your dog on a leash until the mother comes back

CrimeDad OP ,

Absolutely not. The deer have become a big problem since they have insufficient natural predators around here, so anything that people can do to reduce their survival rate is a good thing. My little guy is just doing his part.

Help Bambi find his mom. 😬

CrimeDad OP ,

That bimbo is out there somewhere. He'll be fine.

If you see a fawn alone outside, don't worry about it, just leave it. The mom will be back later.

They commonly leave them chilling in various places while they go to forage during the day, it's normal behavior and you do not need to intervene.
