At birth whitetail fawns have silky, reddish coats dappled with white spots. Fawns molt out of their spots and are weened by September/October. Their coats become grayish and lose their spots completely by their first winter.
Usually between 24 hours to look for food and water or avoid predators, then the mother will return and take the baby (while the mother is gone the baby fawn hides in the grass curled up in a ball). It may be well after dark before she returns. 90% of orphan calls to animal control aren't. If there isn't a dead female deer in the area, it is likely not an orphan.
They normally carry their fawns for six or seven months.

Most deer babies, or fawns, lose their spots between 3 and 5 months of age.

Whitetail was and probably still is the hardest animal to hunt in North America. Some hunters go there whole life without killing the trophy whitetail buck. They arent that great at sight- but they can see movement EXTREMELY well, and can hear you from a long way away, and have a high sense of smell. Hearing is probably there best sense. Smell isn't too far behind which is where a lot of hunters mess up. They don't think they need scent cover, and the deer never come out.
A fawn will stay with its mother for about a year, after which time they are independent. A male fawn will never sees his mother again, whereas a female fawn will every now and then.
