Now that more people are venturing into the backcountry, Colorado Parks and Wildlife is reminding them to keep their hands off fawns and stay away from protective does.<\/p>\n

This is the time of year that deer are giving birth to fawns. Does often stash their youngsters in tall grass while they are roaming nearby to feed. They do not abandon fawns.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you see a fawn, the mother is sure to be close by,\u201d CPW said in a news release. \u201cDo not approach a fawn and never pick one up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLike any mother, a doe will protect her young, so be careful when you\u2019re out walking in town or in a wild area,\u201d said Heath Kehm, deputy manager for CPW\u2019s Southwest Region.<\/p>\n

A mother deer is very wary of people who get close to her young and the deer will sometimes attack. \u201cThe deer\u2019s perception of a threat goes even higher when it sees a dog.\u201d Dogs should be kept on a leash.<\/p>\n

Snowmass Village animal control has been monitor a fawn and doe who are taking residents behind some condos off Woodbridge Road. They\u2019ve closed a section of trail and have posted signs for people to avoid the area and leash their dogs.<\/p>\n
