Default RE: Sentimental? Well, maybe.

Not to sound too hard, but you were there to do some killing, right? You just killed more than you planned. You shouldn't feel bad at all. In my area there are way too many doe, so guilt isn't really a factor. I think everyone will feel some remorse for killing any animal, or at least should, but as mentioned above by Rob, they're pretty much all pregnant at this point.

My friends and i went hunting on Saturday and we killed three doe. All three were pregnant with twins. I thought this was strange, I may be ignorant on the subject, but I was always told that doe normally give birth to one fawn and only sometimes more. The main reason offered was that the winter is hard on the pregnant doe and she will most likely not be able to support the requirements of more than one fawn and will pass one or more to ensure the success of at least one offspring. Of course not consciously or anything, just an act of nature and survival.

Anyone have any info on this? Am i ignorant or was this a strange coincidence?

Thanks,
KP
