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.
So, by this logic no one should ever harvest a doe unless there is a severe population control issue because she may give birth to a future monster buck?
No, I didn't say that I am talking about fawns.
