Jim.....by the time December rolls around, here......the BB's are a LOT bigger than their mothers. When Rob was here in '06.....I had a doe and two fawns enter my set.....and I almost drew down on the doe. Turns out.....the biggest one of the three was the fawn (BB).

Here.....they are WAY bigger than their female siblings in record time.

In actuality....I "meant" to put 1.5X. My mistake (and I know the 1.5X to be true).

And I dont understand why we're talking about when they're born. They're born in May.....and they're at least 4 mos. old by the time my season rolls in. I don't think I shot one this year until it was probably 5 months old.

I asked a LOT of questions before I adopted this practice.......and did some soul searching. I can live with my choice. TO ME.....it would be selfish not to kill them. It's not like I'm killing all of them.....or shooting them with spots. I picked up 3 of them out of the ditch at the end of my driveway last year. Whee I took 'em to.....I suppose the yotes ate 'em. I got a nice 'Thank You' card from the widow across the street after Christmas......for the "wonderful" ham I gave her from one of those fawns.
