I agree with the idea that if you harvest a doe with a buck fawn that buck fawn is more likely to adopt the area as it's home area. I've harvested a quite a few does with fawns early in the bow season, I just notice that the fawns tend to travel less. I try to take a doe with two buck fawns, in past the fawns tend to stay on our land, where they are safe since we're not going to shoot fawns. Fawns are able to survive on their own come hunting season, I heard once that does will leave fawns on their own for up to 18 hours at a time. If they can be left for 18 hours at a time, they can make it on their own IMO.
