Default RE: shooting does

I know what you mean. It is like shooting a deer in your back yard that you see all year. However, it needs to be done. If you family or friends are unable to do it, you may want to consider selling a hunt. In our area, you could easily sell a doe hunt for $200 for a 3 day hunt. Depends on location, some places allow only 2 does, some 3 does for that price. Unless you knew the person, you might have to act as guide, to be sure no bucks are taken, etc.

It is hard to shoot a doe with a fawn, but if it is a big fawn, he should be able to make it on its own just fine. You can usually tell if it is a late/young fawn, and you could let that one's mother pass. Good luck.
