Very cool! Some say not to touch them because the doe might not accept them. About 7 years ago, I was mowing an eleven acre hayfield and found 6 fawns. I moved them (figuring human scent on them was better than running them through the mower conditioner). I waited as it got towards evening and watched the does come out from the timber and claim their fawns. All of the fawns were lead away, no problems with human scent that I could tell.

I have not noticed any ill effect from the human scent factor. Seems that the deer are used to human scent in the area of the house enough.
Once the wife got a doe to eat an apple out of her hand. The wife suffers from the "Bambi" syndrome.
Last evening there was a nice velvet eight pointer (first eight point I've seen this year) walking into the orchard I wanted to get the rifle but the wife stopped me. I tried to set the retriever on it but she (the dog) was playing dumb. Finally I just stepped out on the deck and ran the buck off.
