RE: Does w/ Fawns....Not a debate....just information
Jeff, i been pondering the same thing lately.
never gave it much though because by mid bow season the fawns are 70+ lbs usually and will be fine...by rifle season, when i have taken does, they are usually well old and large enough to survive...
but now with this early bow season starting this weekend, i been wondering what happens if a doe comes in with 2 yearlings and i shoot momma...
heck...if the yearlings aint spotted, i might take one of them if i can make sure it aint a button buck. just to ease my mind. momma might miss the little doe..but i know little doe and brother BB aint gunna die because i killed momma
lookin forward to reading more...i just dont know. id hate to kill momma and the fawns are out there alone and starve or die because of me. id have no problem taking a yearling doe.
