RE: who really pratices?
Last year my son and I came across 300 plus winterkilled fawns in our area that we shed hunt. Would be tough to guess how many died in my county but safe to say in the thousands last winter. I would imagine I have personally seen well over a 1000 in the last 15 years here. Alot depends on your area in the choices you make. Someone killing a fawn instead of a doe in my area probably is doing more good for the deer in the long run. I have killed fawns ( doe fawns ) and sure wouldn't condemn anyone for it.
With the extra doe tags they allow and our older deer running fairly heavy weightwise... getting enough deer meat is not a problem.
