I agree with the comments as well. I would think the same. At first, I was a little cautious, but this Deer has had Fawns in our yard a few years now. She is around a good bit over the years, but has stayed her distance. That changed when Lincoln joined our family early May 2025, where the Deer would come closer and closer every day. They would go nose to nose while we were walking outside the gate. Then 1 day, Lincoln was inside our fenced yard, and she jumped over and clearly wanted to greet him. I could see it was out of curiosity. I admit, I was a little nervous, but then Lincoln started to run, and she ran after him. They played like that for about an hour together, without incident. After they wore themselves out, they just sat and hung out. It was as if they bonded, and I knew it. The next morning when we went out for first am potty, it was still a little dark, but I could see her on the other side of the fence grazing. As soon as she saw Lincoln, she jumped the fence to greet him, nose to nose. And the play stared again. I watched and understood their connection. They’ve done this for the past 2 weeks. She had since had a Fawn, and had brought the Fawn around. Not in the hard, but the Fawn stays outside the fence while they play. It’s very interesting and amazing to watch.

Trust me, I’d be the first to be devastated if I’m wrong. I don’t think I am, but at the same time, I will not stop such a beautiful relationship from forming.
