Do Not Pick Up Baby Fawns This Season

Do not pick up baby fawns if found. Uninformed people may think they are deserted by parents or wish to keep them, but fawns rely on their mothers for care. Return them to the habitat and contact local wildlife authorities for guidance.

The Maryland Game and Inland Fish Commission cautions that taking fawns is wrong for several reasons. The mother deer will return to the fawn at dinner time, and it is illegal to capture or possess a fawn. People who pick up injured fawns should contact the local Game Warden before acting.
