Indyhunter I may not exclusivly shoot big buck's but atleast I don't shoot every fawn that come's by my stand. When people say I have shot fawns before and I will do it again and shooting fawns is a challenge becouse they are smaller they are people who will not hesitate to shoot a fawn and while they will shoot a big doe or rack buck if they see it they will also take a fawn just to shoot some thing. This is an opions board and I am giving my opion if you like it or not. Does anyone have the right to shoot a fawn heck yea it's leagal but it sure as #ell isn't the most sporting thing to do. Making excuses that the meat is tender and first time hunter's should shoot any thing and fawns are more challenging are just that excuses people make up to convince them selves that what they are doing is some wonderful hunting accomplishment and not running out into the woods shooting the first thing you see. How many people here can honestly say with out deer meat they would go hungry? probably none so why not wait for a mature deer instead of just killing the first thing that comes along after all it is called hunting. The lady who started this thread said he shot them becouse they don't see many deer so they shoot what ever comes along. Well they must see some deer if he missed 6 once again it's just an excuse to kill the first thing that came along. I am glad that guy got a deer and it doesn't realy matter what it was becouse it was leagal but hpeful next time he will practice with his bow and wait for a mature deer.
