Default RE: Taking a fawn for the freezer?

ORIGINAL: GMMAT

No one did, Tony. I answered your question. You asked (in an interrogative form...)...

I guess a lesser fawn can be the sacrificial lamb so he can be "ready" when the one he wants comes by
I answered...."Exactly" (read - YES).

I then added that "I" OR ANYONE ELSE shouldn't need to worry about what anyone else thinks about why we take a legal deer.

Kinda goes back to the "shoot what you want" thing, doesn't it?

The deer (fawn) in question is taken legally. It serves a purpose.

I would NEVER, EVER be a proponent of someone taking a deer they would , at the time, or subsequnetly "regret" taking. But the deer, as I said, would serve a purpose. It would also be taken legally.

What the problem with this scenario?
I gave you a personal example of the first deer I shot .......... i regretted it ... it was because I listened to others ..... when a kid comes on here and says he doesn't want his 1st deer to be a fawn and there are guys telling him he should shoot one anyway for the experience .... it says alot about what hunting is to those guys ...[&o]
