Fawn Traditional Cache

We were looking for a location for a cache to replace one we archived.We found a place we liked...now..what to name it ? Wandering around the woods we came upon a fawn laying where Momma placed her. It was such an amazing sight we wanted to share our experience, so the name became simply "Fawn". Some interesting information for you :

Most fawns are born on edges of open fields or in thickets. For the first few days after birth, fawns are nursed 2-3 times during daylight hours. Nursing becomes less frequent until they are weaned at about four months. (A gland between the two toe nails-- hoof--secretes a scented substance, by which the doe can track her fawn if it wanders off).

When fawns are found lying alone they should not be assumed to be orphaned. Wildlife do not have baby-sitters so when does leave their young to feed or for other reasons the young are left home alone. This behavior may also reduce the risk that the fawn will be detected by a predator.

A doe will not abandon her fawn if it has been handled by a human. They are not panicked by human scent because they encounter human odors every day.

Fawns will stay with the doe through their first year, but are chased off by does just prior to the birth of new fawns. The yearling females are generally allowed to return shortly after birth of the new fawn, but yearling males typically disperse, sometimes great distances, and rarely rejoin these family groups. Eventually, female offspring will establish a home range near the area where they were born and occasionally associate with related individuals .
