It would take me being able to positively identify it as a doe as opposed to a button buck and then it come into bow range. In my eyes a doe is a doe.

And what's your reasoning?
And what's your reasoning?
When I choose to shoot a fawn I check to see if its a nubbin. I want to take a doe fawn.

Well when we group hunt, we usually drive, and the rules is, if it brown its down, our group of 25 hunters just shoots whatever, as they are not trophy hunters. But I hold out for a nice buck, and of that dosent happen after a couple of day, I'll take whatever I can get. When I bowhunt, I won't shoot a doe, fawn, inferior buck, untill there is like 3 days left in the season, we also to deer drives sometimes when we bow hunt, but that is when we are desperate and in our final days.

I will also add, if Im not hunting an area that is holding a big buck, or the land is being developed, I will shoot more than one doe fawn, and or a button buck or small buck if I have not shot one all year and the land is going to be a shopping center next yr, which is happening to much of my land now!!!

Ridgefactor, with all due respect sir, it is not a sport. A sport is a competion or game, bowhunting or hunting in general is a traditional pass time, a passion like art, not for sport. Don't take this the wrong way, just voicing my opinion. If you believe in healthy herds, someone has to shoot fawns too, does it have to be you?? Nope, but somebody does.
