This is what I remember, a kid finds a fawn in the forest and becomes friends with it. I think the mother of the fawn gets killed by hunters. Also its Japanese anime. :)

Sounds like The Yearling: Kojika Monogatari (TV) - Anime News Network (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1701)

Silverfox007 agrees: this is exactly the anime I was thinking about
Great, glad to help.
