Thread: For those who have reared fawns

Mate of mine had a red stag for several years. He hand reared it after cutting from the womb of its mother. It lived in the house, was a great pet when it was young and was often seen driving around with the wife in the front of the ute with its head out the window.

Once it was mature it was a bit of a handful in the yards and you DEFINITELY didn't go near him during the roar, but for the rest of the time it was quite friendly. You still had to be wary. I think he was 7 when they got rid of him.
