All you guys hunting in the north country.
Does anyone know the difference in mortality rates of fawns with a doe and fawns without a doe? I have had guys tell me that the fawns need the doe to teach them to escape preditors. To locate changing food sorces. Many north woods deer relocate andyard up during the winter. How do the fawns find the wintering yards without their mama? One guy went as far as saying you are killing 5 deer when you shoot a doe -- the doe, her fawns and the fawns she is carrying. Some of these comments do make sense to me. I wonder if anyone ever did a study on this.
