I can't pull the trigger/loose an arrow on a fawn, spots or no spots. If it's not a 1.5 year old doe or older, no go and I adamantly against shooting button bucks. I honestly think there is no excuse for it. Sorry if that offends you. I find it extremely easy to ID a fawn over an adult doe.

what we consider a fan is a young deer still with spots,and they are off limits.When the spots come off however they are fair game and all the meat from any deer is good if handled properly from kill to skillet.

A fawn is this years deer/ a yearling up until it's first year of age. I have no problem with anyone shooting fawn does, I just can't/won't do it myself.

Ive shot some young deer before, like six month olds. WhatI consider a fawn is if it still has spots. Aint no way I would shoot one with spots. From my experiance young ones are usualy pretty good eating, but properly prepared venison is good no matter what deer it was.

i think i honestly would. havent had a chance, but think i would. and yea i have heard that there meat is much more tender, just like i hear doe meat is more tender than a old, 5 year old rutting buck lol. but who knows, deer meat is deer meat to me.

now let me say that i hunt public land, which is why pretyt much anything is game, and because im a meat hunter,but if it was my land and i was trying to raise some nice deer , i would let them walk and kill mama.

The meat may be more tender but there is so little on the animal is it worth it? Some places have so few deer that they justify shooting whatever you see. But in doing this you complete the circle of few deer by taking the young that are supposed to replenish the stock. If it is legal, it is your choice. But, if it is my choice, I enjoy watching them more than shooting. What better way to learn how to get close then letting them get close without shooting.
