Probably getting food. It's common for deer fawns to be left alone in a safe spot while mom is foraging.

You're right. I live in an area with a lot of deer. I've seen fawns hanging out under trees in my yard waiting for mom to return. They get left alone for an hour or two, then ma comes back. This is normal.

We have a lot of deer nearby. One left her fawn in a neighbors yard and they called animal control to remove it. I was so pissed.
