i try for a mature buck, but if the last day of season comes and i havn't filled a tag, anything above a fawn is toast
I shoot fawns. Where I hunt, deer are overpopulated, at least the farmers and DNR say so. I buy antlerless tags. I shoot does and fawns. I try to pass on buck fawns but don't worry about it.
Why do you pass on fawns?? They are the best eating and here in Iowa they can be pretty good sized by the shotgun season in December.
I like to let small bucks walk and retain my antler tag for something bigger than 130.
Again, why pass on fawns?? Are deer underpopulated where you hunt?
