maturity and ethics can be a wonderful thing......
Very true - but neither have ANYTHING to do with shooting a doe with non spotted fawns.
How is killing a fawn unethical?
Its not.
I would be very surprized if the number of true dry does is not way less then 10%.
Does in captivaty will continue to cycle and breed till nearly the end.
Considering few wild deer live to die a natural death, what makes anyone think that more then a tiny few would menopause out.
Reality is if you shoot does, you are shooting ones with fawns whether you see them or not.

if it has nothing to do with ethics , then why do they use passing does with fawns as an example of ethics when the hunters saftey course is being given ?????????? I believe it has everything to do withethics and maturity is factor as well....when you're younger, you're in the shooter stage, just a killing machine, but then you grow up and start letting things walk....it's perfectly ok, it's part of the learning experience......you have your opinion, I have mine and I'm right, lol.......
