White deer represent less than 1% of Iowa\u2019s deer population, occurring about once in every 30,000 deer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">According to the DNR, that fawn is not abandoned. Does commonly hide their young and leave them alone for most of the day while they feed nearby. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The DNR is asking people not to approach the animal. Too much human disturbance could cause the mother not to feel safe returning to her fawn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Iowa law protects deer with more than 50% white coverage from harvest.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 KCRG.
