RE: shooting fawns
 

Some of you elitests crack me up.

The I only shoot big deer attitudes is funny, but if thats how you want to hunt fine. Have fun.

I will shoot ANY legal deer that I have a clean shot at with few exceptions. However, I will not shoot a deer in spots.

The area I hunt is over run with white tail does and is in serious need of thinning them out, be it 1 1/2 yr olds or 8 month old does (fawns) call it what you like It's a legal deer.

I will not now, nor have I ever judged another hunter for taking legal game.

I hunt to fill a freezer and If I get a nice buck for the wall, well thats just a bonus.

Happy hunting

young deer have less offspring then older deer so really youd be increasing your heard by taking only young does

Hey QS that picIS funny, even if I'm not gon'na shoot one!
We say we don't care what the nonhunters think, but we've got to remember we are in a very small minority in this country now. All it would take insome places is for PETA to put some negativeads and pictures in the papers andthere could be a referendum on the ballot to ban bowhunting.Don't think it could happen? Ask the lion hunters in California or the bear hunters in Florida. We've got so many bears here in north Florida they are like a plague of giant rats. The state has turned a fine game animal into vermin that are despised by the locals here. They have hired guns that trap and kill them just like they do deer in some places. Let's be good stewards of the rights we still have.

Nice picture!:DWould you have a head or body mount. A body mount would only cost $350 for that monster. [&:]

One of the arguements used against hunting is that hunters don't kill off prey species in a natural way. As in, we tend to go after the biggest and healthiest of the herd.


Anyhow, to shoot or not shoot a fawn or any other deer should have everything to do with your own individual choice (and legality of course) and it shouldn't have anything to do with what somebody else will think.

Some people hate it when you shoot does, some people hate it when you shoot bucks under 5.5 years of age, Peta hates it when we shoot anything.

BLEEP them. I hunt to make myself happy. No one else.


:D

Not trying to be the"master of the obvious", but..... this post pretty much sums it up.

RE: shooting fawns
 

Calling hunters who shoot legal but small deer"baby killers" is what gives the anti's their ammo not the actual shooting of the deer. If it's a legal deeryou have every right to lace it thru the lungs. Ethics is a personal thing. The wardens do the rest. Wouldn't be great if we could all be trophy hunters...BUT we are not, were just hunters.

I can see I've struck a nerve.Maybesomebody should start a new teamcalled "Fawn Masters". How 'bout a new outdoor show titled "Fawn Busters" where all they shoot are fawns. Anything that field dresses over twenty pounds is off limits!
