RE: What would it take to make you kill a doe fawn?
 

I was just wondering about the "age and experience" part. I was wondering about that statement and how/if it applied to the question in the thread.

RE: What would it take to make you kill a doe fawn?
 

Absolutely. some of us won't shoot anything but a nice buck, some of us will shoot any buck, some of us will shoot anything... but all of us started out shooting just about anything our first few years.

Still trying to correlate how/if "age and experience"(and your above statement)has anything to do with shooting doe fawns.

Just wondering.

ok, some guys won't shoot anything but a buck for the wall, trophy hunters, mature buck hunters, whatever you call em, this staus most of the time comes with many years of hunting. There are 5 stages to hunting, anyone who has hunted long enough, knows these 5 stages.
1. shoota deer
2. shoot lots of deerIf
3. shoot a buck
4. shoot a mature buck
5. don't care if you shoot at all b/c you are satisfied with what you have taken.

If you ask a guy who has lots experience and some age if he would kill a fawn, he may say no because he has reached a certain stage in his career.

va, i see what your saying and how it relates to the thread. really before i killed my 4th deer, any deer i saw was down, doe fawn, button buck, you get the picture. after my 4th though, i realized that i was blessed with two spots, that i had a great chance every year to kill a wall hanger, so i started passing up deer. two years ago, i ate my buck tag, i killed a doe in early october, on a managed hunt, so it wasnt even a normal tag.

I'm aware of the 5 stages. I was thinking that's where you were headed.

So let me ask......Whatshould an experienced hunter with several years experience do when he's faced with an overpopulation of does.....and a doe fawn 15yds broadside in front of him?

Muzzify her!!! or in your case, Rage against the Machine!!!;)

RE: What would it take to make you kill a doe fawn?
 

I appreciate the clarification. I WISH I could hunt for that one or two good deer a year.....and I might just do that this year. That would be my preference. Last year was a lot of work.
