I have to agree with Huntingbry. I was in a wildlife biology program until my Senior year in college when I transferred to another major. Whitetail deer studies were the brunt of the program. From what I can remember, the only reason button bucks, (and doe fawns for that matter) are allowed to be shot is because "mistakes" would be all too common. I don't remember ever reading anything that suggested that shooting fawns was good for the population.
