If the goal is to lower deer population then killing a fawn is the wrong method.
Hmmm...let me get this straight...
So killing something isless effective at reducing that "thing's" population that NOT killing it?
If you kill the fawn, will there be more or less deer? I could be wrong, but I suspect there would be less deer if you kill it and more deer if you don't kill it.
So it almost seems like killing the fawnis actuallya BETTER methodfor reducing deer population.
Sorry, I figured everyone could understand that this premise was based on the fact that I am limited to the number of deer I can harvest each year. Given that fact, I can do more good for my herd by killing mature does rather than fawns. Also, from the size of some of those fawns you better have pretty good binos to see those buttons. I dont care what you kill, just making a point that is well backed biologically. Example, if you only kill fawns on your farm and I kill the same number of does on my farm, your deer herd will explode in numbers compared to mine. Simple. The whole 'yote thing is like calling Obama a Republican.
