I'm not sure where mom was, but Bambi was freaked out by me and my lights.
In my city we have a large marsh right in the center of town that has all kinds of wildlife with MUPs mostly on old railroad lines running through it. I used to ride across a short section of it on my way to work in the mornings and one time up ahead I could see a whitetail doe and 2 fawns on the trail that went back into the marsh and disappeared by the time I got there. I saw them a few more times in the same area after that.
Once early in the evening when I was riding on the same stretch of trail I could see in the distance an animal on the road that was yellow and I remember saying to myself, "please don't let it be a dog" and it also was a deer that ran into the marsh.
