Mammasboy sort of hit onto what I was thinking. There is one main point of this thread that is being left out. What time of the year are you talking about?? Sept or early Oct....then probably not. Late season?(for us in MN I'm talking Nov-Dec), then yes I would shoot a DOE fawn if given the opp. I need to thin out the population anyway, so why not. Waste a doe tag on a fawn someone said? At $12.50 per doe tag, I'll take the hit in the wallet. Fawns are most likely the ones that will get taken out by a bad winter and/or predators first. Also someone eluded to that they let doe go if they have fawn(s) in toe. It's my personal opinion that if they have made it to archery season already.....they should be able to make it without mom. If they are doing any nursing, it's not much. Crops and other sources of food are already their main source of diet. They will hookup some other doe if that happens. They will be just fine. Also, how many times have you seen a fawn still with spots during archery season?? I'm sure some have, but I can't imagine not too many have. Spots are long gone by our archery opener.
