Don't listen to this type of stuff....shoot what you want and are happy with, not what someone else thinks is right for you. Congrats again, great job!
I think you missed the part where he said "... a 90 pound fawn will have 25-30 pounds of meat
TO ME that is a waste of a tag and not even worth going to the woods for..."
In Illinois and Iowa, its the norm for fawns to weigh close to 90lbs, whereas in the rest of the country it may be a two year old to weigh near that. We constantly take does that weigh upwards of 150 and 160lbs. He simply stated that it was not cost effective per pound of meat for him to shoot anything that small when taking in account the price of the tag and other expenses.
Congrats Prairienights on taking a deer. That in itself is an accomplishment in my eyes, regardless of size.
