Did you know that if you touch the baby , because of the smell you impregnate on , they're rejected by the mother. (nobody linked me something prooving i'm wrong , just people saying no it's false )

Here you go : http://www.spca.bc.ca/assets/documents/welfare/urban-wildlife/find-a-deer-fawnpdf.pdf

WHAT YOU SHOULDN’T DO

• Don’t touch the fawn. If you have already handled it, find a towel, rub it in the grass, and wipe the fawn down to remove your scent.

Another :

A doe will bond with her fawn within the first four hours of its birth. She can then pick her fawn out of a group, if necessary, by its unique smell to her.

If you have touched a fawn and are returning the fawn to the place where found, please do the following:

Put on rubber gloves and get a towel.

Rub the towel in the grass then wipe the fawnʼs body with that towel to remove human scent.

Leaving the gloves on, return the fawn to the place where found.

Now the fawn is once again scent-free and waiting for mom to return.

i can only answer one time for every 5 min because of this subreddit. But it's fun i get linked to website saying the exact same thing but ok , reddit i guess.

Allow me to oblige, then: 1, 2, 3.

The mother won't come back as long as you're around, and she might be less eager to approach her fawn if the area it's in smells like humans, but she will most definitely not abandon it just because you touched it. Fawns are born scentless to help them evade predators, so touching them is a bad idea in the sense that it negates that advantage, but what you're claiming is patently false.

Also your link is completely unrelated to your actual comment.

That is not true. Just an old wives tale.

Also, your source only says don't touch it. It says nothing about the mother abandoning it because of human scent.

That's a convenient myth to make sure people leave the animal alone.

Since I don't think anyone has provided a link proving this false, I have found a couple.

That being said, it still may happen sometimes but it is very rare. Most often a mother that abandons her young is inexperienced and young herself. This is true for all of these abandonment myths including birds and rabbits. The hormones that create the mother/offspring bond is much too strong for a mother to just leave her offspring, especially in areas that most likely already smell strongly of humans. Plus, as someone currently studying zoology, I can tell you that a species would not be very productive if they abandoned their offspring all willy-nilly. You still shouldn't touch young animals that you find unless you are moving them away from a dangerous situation as they can carry a number of zoonotic diseases as well as parasites. The only time it is appropriate to take a young animal is if it is physically injured or if you know the mother has been injured of killed.

Actually no, that's a myth.

If you find a lone fawn in the woods you should never touch or disturb it. It can cause uneeded stress to the mother doe and the fawn itself. The mother will always come back to the fawn no matter what. However if the mother doe senses danger (from you) she might leave the fawn and run off.

Is that not bullshit, I swear I heard that turned out to be bullshit.

That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about deer to dispute it.
