Default RE: Taking a fawn for the freezer?

This is in reply to Buckmasters519 comment. Actualy shooting doe fawns is really not much differant than shooting adult does when your talking about the buck to doe ratio. In most cases you want to shoot the does anyway cause in most casesthere are too many of them. Besides how is shooting an adult doe that has ben bred and will be having little ones the next spring any different than shooting a doe fawn that might not come into season until the following year? Your still taking a doe that could produce buck fawns. I personly try to steer clear of shooting fawns but I dont have a problem with people that do. You critisize peope who do because you say a fawn isnt a challenge, it may be to someone.You also saythat it damages the deer herd. If your so wise on deer managment you know that in a perfect world you would have about a 1 to 1 ratio of bucks to does maybe 2 does to every buck and by taking one doe you are most likely taking out a doe and a buck that she would have had thenext year. With that being said itsnot throwing the herd out of balance at all. Maybe you should read up on deer managment a bit more, cause if shooting a doe fawn screws your deer herd up that much there is something going wrong with your managment practice.
