Doesn't work. Hagrid says explicitly in the chapter that he's had almost no interaction with the unicorns.

He did notice when one died... No interaction does not mean being unaware of their existence (or lack thereof.)

Specific proof is that he knew Alicorn was dead before they found the body.

He can know that the unicorns live in a place, see the signs of their passing, without actually going up to them and interacting with them.
