I don't like to shoot yearling animals, period. I try to harvest the game that has the same amount of experience I have.

I guess I will have to hold out for a 33 year old deer.

I'll smoke a 1.5 year old doe all day long. But they get a pass for being a yearling in my neck of the woods.
IMO, it is like killing the birds that nest in my wreaths. They have no experience. I hunt for mature animals because it is hard. Really hard. If I want good meat, I shoot a doe (Do this anyway for herd purposes).
You do what you want, I do what I want, GAME ON.

I'll do what I want (but by the way IMO what you are doing is like shooting birds out of my wreath)"
I didn't type that, I typed this:

If I were you, which I am not. I would hold out for mature animals that have the same kind of "savvy" you have around the deer woods.

I prefer to wait for an older doe to harvest - But there are times when I have harvested a doe fawn - it all depends on where i am hunting, I would not want to drag a fawn from deep in the swamp - but 100 yards into the woods - might be a different story - prob the last few years I have targeted 1.5 year old and older on does and 2.5 and older on bucks

RE: What would it take to make you kill a doe fawn?
I'll stick a doe fawn unless it's in spots. When I do it, I do it for the meat, not for the hunt, not for the challenge (although hitting those little suckers can be tricky), but for the meat. That tender venison is some of the finest red meat I have ever eaten and will try to get some of that in my freezer every year.
Not every deer has to be for the challenge for me, some have another place, and that is next to the potatoes and carrots.
