What a great picture. Deer, moose, rabbits and other herbivores will often leave their young somewhere safe and camouflaged while they go off (not too far usually) to forage. If the mom were to stay around it would be a sure sign for predators. Seems weird, but it's much safer for the babies. We had a moose calf turned into us a few years ago that some kind citizens thought was orphaned. We took it back to the spot where they found it and there was mom frantically looking for it. What a nice reunion that was.

I am sure this little baby warmed your heart when you found it. Animals sure know what they are doing.

You are lucky that the mother came back fo it!! We have many deer by me-thankfully none in the yard as a creek is only 300 yds away.
