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.
As I said before, Worst logic I have ever herd. We shouldn't shoot a fawn because it might give birth to a buck the next year. You say wait till after it gives birth. Hate to break it to you buddy, but that doe is more likely to have fawns the next year than the fawn and more of them. Once again not shooting them them because they might be a buck, because it bothers you, or because you just don't want tois fine. Your logic is just plain back wards.
According to the wildlife and game experts fawns have enough pressure from outside sources that by hunting them you hurt the herd. That is why I posted that link. So, this is not just my thoughts, but those of experts.
