To answer in as simply as I can, yes I am sure there is bond between the fawn and its mother, the doe.

And when taken suddenly before the mother doe would naturaly ween the faw, this time duration being about a year or so.

I do not agree with shooting and yearling or FAWN! and I would emagine that most hunters out there would be able to make a destiction between a inmature deer and a mature one.

As far as the mother doe seaching for it's young, yes it will. A member of our camp took a older fawn with a rifle, spooked the mother ran off and very shortly after, while the member was field dressing the fawn, the mother doe came right back to the same spot, and was shot as well.

It came back to find it's young. I any case I didn't condone this happening.

Why some hunter choose to harvest very young I have been told that the meat is very tender like veal.

Happy hunting!

KEEP HUNTING THE GREAT OUTDOORS & GOD ALIVE, PASS IT ON!
