RE: missed a deer tonight...worth hunting that area again tomorrow?
I agree with Cardeer. I' ve taken 2 or 3 shots at the same deer. Didn' t know the yardage. I actually had 1 doe come up and snip the arrow after I shot it at her. It went low and she jumped but only ran about 10 yards. Then after about 5 minutes she came back. If you didn' t give yourself away getting out of there and they didn' t associate the sound of your shot with you, you' ll be OK. As far as shooting a doe with fawns, tough question. As Rackassasan said, the fawns use the doe as protection and to learn from. What to eat, when to eat, what to stay away from, etc. I don' t know though. It seems as though every doe has fawns with her. Tough call. We need to take some does to cull down the herd here in Iowa so I would probably chance taking her anyway. Especially if she were a big mature doe.
