We process our own deer, so the cost isnt nearly as much as taking it to the packing house. But it is generally a waste of time to cut up a small fawn. Cleaning the meat grinder takes longer. I myself dont shoot fawns or yearlings. I guess Im considered a trophy hunter. Years ago I was a meat hunter. Now its all about the trophy for me. Thats my preference. If shooting a spotted fawn makes you happy the good for you. Here in Indiana we have the one buck law. That makes me hold out for the bigger mature bucks. But like I said thats my preference...
