I shoot them because they're another mouth....eating up the available food that the habitat I hunt will only produce so much of. Each day...on average...a whitetail deer is going to consume 4 lbs of food.

I shoot them because they are PROLIFIC breeders. A "this year's fawn" (in our mild climate) stands a good chance of being bred. The sooner they're removed from the herd.....the less food they consume from that day forward....and it's a 100% chance they won't be breeding if they're frozen in someone's freezer.

I shoot them (doe fawns)because they need killing (here). I don't shoot them for their "trophy status" (hardly qualify in my book). I don't "target" doe fawns, per se....but will shoot one if presented an ethical shot.

Ignorance as to why doe fawns are taken, in many instances,is (obviously) rampant.

Oh yeah....they are really cute beside brown rice, also.
