First of all, they are fawns, not yearlings. A yearling is a 1 - 1 1/2 year old, but we all know what you are talking about. Personally I don't like shooting does that have fawns during early bow season. I know the fawns will probably survive, but I guess I'm just too soft hearted. I have done it before, but it's been a long time. I have nothing against someone who chooses to do it, but I just choose not to.There are plenty ofyearlings and does without fawns to take. I won't even shoot a yearling or older doe after October. I try to take my does in Oct. with my bow.
