How many doe tags do you have? Take them both. ;)

I'd take out the mother. It's more meat, and the fawns should be plenty old enough by now to survive on their own.

My thoughts exactly.

One time I had one of the fawns stand there and stare at me as I was getting ready to gut the doe. I felt terrible and that memory still haunts me.

So much for my thoughts, now I have to rethink things.

Why would anyone shoot a small fawn is beyond me , I mean why would you waste a kill tag and your time to gut it out , take it home then butcher or pay to have it butchered for only thirty five to forty pounds of meat.

For the same reason you pay more for Kobe beef my friend... it tastes that much better. I butcher it for myself so it doesn't cost me any extra, and honestly, the fawns here are about as big as the mature does in the south.

Motown, you can tell a fawn doe from a fawn buck as long as they are close enough to see if there are nubs. Don't shoot the ones with nubs.

Listen carefully and you can hear their nuts rattling:)

Maybe you should read your regulations again. What do you think all of those bonus antlerless tags are for?

I apologize i just don't feel that shooting a spotted fawn can sastify anyone. You get next to nothing in meat. Also MOST people (fetzeriiif i said MOST not all) won't see spotted fawns during deer season at least around here anyways. But if you find something on Indiana dnr website about that, you can be sure to prove me wrong!!

They all look the same in the freezer.

Shoot whatever you want to and have a tag for.

I just wanted you to clarify which fawn was illegal to shoot because I thought maybe there was some regulation meant to protect spotted fawns. Although, I would shoot a spotted fawn if I needed it for my Buck tag.
This is what I really want to know.......
Why would you say it is illegal to shoot fawns in Indiana, when it obviously is not?
