RE: This made me sick....
i've shot a few fawns, as well as big does with their fawns. the fawns will be fine. they'll join another doe group. fawns make the best eating, as they're very tender. if given enough time, i can usually make sure the fawn isnt a nub by seeing the shape of the top of its head. if its flat, its a buck. if its round, its a doe. nothin' wrong with shooting a fawn
its a good thing he shot it this late in the year if it still had spots. chances are, it wouldnt survive the winter if it still had spots this late or even in mid november. he did the deer a favor by not letting it get ripped apart by coyotes or starve to death.
