Chris Darimont, who hunts deer for food, is a professor at the University of Victoria and Raincoast Research Chair in Applied Conservation Science.

After viewing the video, he describes the fawn’s cry as a contact or bleat call for its mother. “Sometimes they are separated by many metres at this age. So, mama is likely ok.”
