Default Does - Fawns....I'm rethinking.....

There have been a few posts here about taking does with fawns. I was in the camp (and still MAY be) that thought there wasn't anything wrong with it......but that it still wasn't in ME to do it.

I've seen 2 large fawns in the last 3 days with faint spots and NO MAMA to be seen anywhere. I did have a doe with 2 little fawns in my set on Saturday.....and they VERY MUCH still seemed dependent on their mother (I heard my first tendinggrunt in the wild, Saturday, too......pretty cool). I think I'm now of the mindset that ....if the fawn is almost as big as mama.....it'll be fine (just as MANY of you pointed out, earlier).

Just an observation.....from a 2nd yr. deer hunter.......
