This is nuts... Don't know, can only assume the hawk did not survive...

I'm not surprised. When you think about, it a "fawn in distress" call doesn't sound all that much different from a "dying cottontail" call. Sadly, good parental protective instincts these days seem to be better ingrained in wildlife than in the human species, even when it's not their own offspring! In the interest of full disclosure, the aforementioned similarity could be purely from the fact that I suck at deer and predator calling, as I don't recall ever successfully doing either. But in my defense, I now have an electronic caller with both and they're still sounding similar. But then again, I'm an old geezer and half deaf....

I think that deer was a grizzly in a past life. She pulverized that hawk!

“When you think about, it a ‘fawn in distress’ call doesn't sound all that much different from a "l’dying cottontail’ call. ”
That was my first thought…. Interesting that she ran off the older doe….

At one point not only was she pulverizing it, but holding it down and looked like she was biting it! Am curious the month because she looks small like maybe a yearling doe after seeing an adult doe come to the picture... Wonder if she had her first fawn and lost it to a predator causing her anger...
Looks like it happened at some kind of a resort with camper/trailer hookup with golf course in the background...

Been a ton of times that I had to defend my self from mule deer doe while calling predators. They can come in mean and aggressive and when they get so close you have to stand up and make sure they know you are bigger. Some doe are way more aggressive than others. But when they are around 10 feet away they need to know.

Is pretty much a thing.
Unless the male is in the rut or Must. Females are usually more dangerous.

Deer have been filmed eating small birds and rodents so doesn't surprise me.
Sometimes mama doe will kick the crap out of anything threatening offspring. Other times they kinda give up after a few faint attempts.

We use varmint calls to call in muley does during the rut. As often as not they'll come on a string bringing the buck with them. Once had a coyote come in behind us while calling. A doe blew right by us at less than 20 feet and started stomping him just like the doe in the video. As an added bonus my partner took the buck that was with the herd. It was maybe the craziest thing I've experienced in the outdoors.

"Let's call her "Beth""
Good one, that is too funny....8^)))
"Sometimes mama doe will kick the crap out of anything threatening offspring. Other times they kinda give up after a few faint attempts"
Yeah Tony, I agree... Whitetails have certain traits but they are all individuals with their own mind and personalities so to speak... If ya think about it kinda like dogs and some pets, and I hear bears are the same way, good and bad, mean and not so mean...8^)

I’ve had whitetails does come rushing in to an electronic cottontail in distress call on several occasions. Very similar sound to a fawn in distress sound.
