I also don't believe this is an "ethics" thread! There is nothing about shooting a fawn with spots/no spots that is illegal that I am aware of. It is just a matter of personal opinion whether to shoot the adult doe or not or to shoot the fawn or not.

If the fawn(s)seem to be old enough to provide for themselves and don't appear to be sick or feeble, I would think thatthe adult doe makes a great target. It may come down to what you want/need to keep your deer herd balanced!

On a personal note, I don't shoot the fawn(s). With or without spots! That's my right as a law abiding ethical hunter, and it's just the choice that I make. I equally don't care if any other licensed hunter does make the choice to shoota fawn.I would not think any less of a hunter who does decide to shoot it. As I stated earlier, it's just a personal choice that each hunter makes and is entitled to make.
