Thanks again so much for the input One thing I'm learning to love about the sport of hunting (even as a newbie) is the pride that hunters have of their sport.

I'm not sure how much my fawn weighed, but I did get 28lbs of meat off of her (that's after processing, so maybe a few ounces of packaging material). That is a LOT of meat for little me. Around here, there are so many deer and so many hunters and so much venison, that it's harder than you'd think to give it away. I wanted just enough meat for me, and I think 28lbs of venison is just right.

She did not have spots, and she was a fat n' sassy little fawn. I have a few pictures (like I said, I'm beaming as if she were a trophy buck), but I'm having some tech difficulties with uploading them. By no means was she an itty bitty baby though. While I didn't want a lot of meat, I wouldn't have gone to the opposite extreme either. I wouldn't have taken such a small deer that the life would have been wasted for a ridiculously tiny amount of meat.
