I'm really a little surprised at what I'm reading. You should be shooting does. I don't know what it's like everywhere else, but here it's rare to see a doe without a fawn or two. I have passed on does with spotted fawns, but only because I can wait and kill another doe. If you like to eat deer meat, does are the best with the exception of fawn meat. The only problem with fawn meat is that there isn't enough of it to make it worth while.

If you have a big deer population, you are only hurting yourself by not shooting does. If you don't like deer meat, give it to someone who does.
