I have a relatively large fenced in back yard that abuts a wooded, swampy area. This morning, to the horror of my Great Dane, there was a fawn and a Mamma on the wrong side of my fence. I snuck out there and opened all the gates, hoping for a relatively quick resolution. (We've lived here for over three years and this has never happened before.)
Mamma got out, but the fawn is still inside. He/she has walked along the back side of the fence but can't seem to find the gates. (There are three.) Now the fawn is grazing blissfully as my Dane steams inside watching. I have seen Mamma once, watching from the trees on the other side.
I know this is a silly question, but is there any way to encourage the fawn to leave without stressing it out? Will Mamma come collect it later on?
