You'll make great parent's.
Not.
A: The mother return from foraging and taking her baby back into her arms
B: The fawn being admitted to a rehab center for wildlife
C: The young boys waiting until dark to see what happens and if mother does not return, take over care of the fawn
You were the only things moving around that caught the fawns attention ,that's why it tried to swim to you in the
creek you were boating in.

You kind of have to ignore them so they can prepare for hunting season as they get older.
If time passes , the newborns will wander. You would hear the doe bleat for her fawn . Something got to the doe . Maybe the fawn saw what happened. Its reluctance to go back into the bush . And desire to follow the only other thing it knew as safety.
Whatever it was . Was still there after you left .
-later
“I didn’t want em to drown or anything so I just picked him up”
Right.
Thanks for a great video and concern. I loved it when you said "Should I call wildlife and fisheries".
Your a good man.
If not you should have left it alone. All wildlife rangers etc warn against touching them because the fresh kittens take on the smell of the human and that‘s why the mother abandons the baby deer then! They can die because of this!
Just because they seem to be alone most of the time they aren‘t. Deers leave their kittens alone for quite a long time during the day and just come to feed them. But they are in touch and reach...

God I’m weak
seems to imply the deer is actually an elaborate prank of some sort? lol'd, cute video
"NO!"
"PLEASE!?"
Also baby deer are supposed to just lie down naturally, so if this one has come up to people then it has been missing its mother for long enough to drive it to do something that’s unnatural. Which makes me think that the mother is dead.
Dude you are the one holding the camera, and saw it swam out to your friend. If it’s not real, you are living in the Matrix.
if it was following you it was obviously lost and that was it's way of saying it needed you...
That's so confusing I wonder what's up with it
#1 it is a fawn. it has not yet learned what is and is not a threat. it is curious and exploring the world, and swimming is probably easier to it than walking currently and got bored.
#2 it is a deer. deer are fucking stupid animals. like stupider than cows and chickens. they are damn near brain dead.
In addition to being removed unnecessarily from their mother's care, many people try to care for these dainty creatures themselves. This year, six of these tiny victims were eventually brought to the Center in real distress, and died. Milk replacers made for domestic babies like puppies or kittens, or livestock such as calves or lambs, are completely unsuitable for a fawn's delicate system and are not even digestible. Very new babies must have colostrum -- the mother's first milk -- in order to develop the antibodies in their system that protect against disease and infection.
Let's try to educate those around us to this very real problem. The best thing you can do if you find a fawn is to:
Keep an eye on the fawn for as long as possible (or until it's mother returns), and don't go near it. If the mother thinks you are too close, she may choose not to return while you're there, so it might be best to leave for a bit and then check back.
Please do not attempt to feed it. If you do rescue a truly distressed fawn, and you can't bring it in immediately, plain water is the best thing you can offer it. It will be OK for several hours without food.
If there are real doubts as to it's vulnerability or safety (a dead doe on a nearby road for example), or if the fawn is visibly hurt or ill, please call a local wildlife rehabilitator as soon as possible.
Hope mom can still accept it.
Its not weaned IMO still needs milk.. If you left that deer, you might aswell of drowned it. Its got no chance of survival.
What a sweet, caring kid.
Thank you!

think ppl thhhiink poooor guy
the guy in purple t-shhirt god bless you man youu hhave kinnd heart
Either way, one of those animals was going to be a winner and the other a loser. My interference wouldn't of changed that. I do feel bad that I didn't help the kitten... However I think I would of felt equally bad for the fox if I did...
And that baby was all fine. It's in their natural behavior to hide while the mothers goes on longer explorations. This way they hide from predators.
In general stick to this one simple rule: NEVER touch baby animals in the wild. Their are most likely never lost or abandoned but simply waiting. It is very tempting to cuddle cute animals but remember that this could be a death sentence for them.
If these guys taken care of him he'd have killed them because the mother probably won't remember the child due to "Animal Imprinting" and "Human Smellophones" or "Law of Deermo Dynamics".
But when they just leave it for the mother to find they have doomed it due to "Potential Predators" or "Symbiotic Deerification" or some shit.
All idiots who believe knowledge gained from cartoons while claiming animals deserve to be taken more seriously as complex creatures.
That being said, this is a cute video, and I appreciate your attempts to care for it!

Seeing how this baby deer could barely walk and that it has not lerned to fear other animals, it tells me that it's very young, mabey just a cuple of days old.
When they are this young, they are dependent upon their mother's milk to survive. The mother will not leave her child, unless she is killed.
The baby deer has probably starved to death or been eaten by a preditor by now.
The right ting to do, wuld have been to bring the baby deer to a vet. They vuld help you to nurse it to adulthud, or help you find a zoo that culd do the same.
Again, I do not blame you, you did what you thought was right and then again, this is how nature works.
Especially rubbing it clean with your shirt, very well intended of course, was the worst thing you could do.
Very sweet intensions tho.
A doe will not abandon its young because it smells like you. If that were the case, then the entirety of the hunter/game relationship would divulge into a game of tag. "Tag, I got your baby!" Nope, the willingness of the mother to hold onto the young is directly related to the number of offspring she has coupled with the amount of time and resources she has spent on producing that offspring.
The only danger is that humans tend to have strong scents (i.e. cologne, deodorant, etc.). One of the defense mechanisms that the fawn has is that it puts off as little scent as possible. When we humans pick one up, we paint it with our smell. Now, that's good and bad because the smell of a human can scare off certain predators but it could very easily attract a young and stupid cougar, for example.
Long answer short: Don't be afraid to interact with an animal for fear of its mother abandoning it -- that's dumb.
It's so sad. ive seen too much wild life =\
