I've got the Lil Can, and have used it off and on in an area where you need to shoot a doe before you can use your buck tag (Earn-a-buck), so i assume this area would have both does and fawns that were alone, but i had 0 success in calling any in. thats not to say it might not work in your area. i bought this call for that very same reason, hoping it would bring in the does so i could get my buck tag early, but here it is almost 3 months into bow season and i have yet to get my doe. id say give it a try, especially if you can get near the area where your buddy shot the fawn, she might still be hangin around nearby.
