My advice is unless it's a genuine orphan then leave it alone, mum will always raise it better than you will and pest or not stealing it's fawn for kicks is probably a highly stressful occurrence (*waits for "but you're a dairy farmer" comments...)
In saying that I do think one would make a pretty neat pet. Knew a fella that had a fallow fawn and it lived inside the house, trouble was it thought it was welcome in any building the rest of its life so open doors were fair game.
Starting to see a few around here with fawns now, I do wonder what I would do if I found an orphan., on the one hand I would also think it would make a neat pet, but also trying to bring up a pup and don't want it to mess with his training..?
