Even if the fawn is female she has potential to give birth to other large bucks, so why not let her produce more offspring i.e. shoot her right after this has occured? Now, if they have overpopulated an area then by all means go for it. However, natural selection has been working for a long time without your help.
Plus, young fawns have enough pressure from other preadators besides humans.
Why even hunt? Mother nature can take care of itself. Why shoot a fawn? It might get pregnant. Why shoot a doe? It might get pregnant. Why shoot bucks? They have enough pressure from cars and wolves and each other.
That is the worst logic I have ever herd. Did you even read what you wrote? I can understand not wanting to shoot a nub by accident or just not having the heart to shoot a fawn, but come on.
