A LOT of us ate well. That's another thing that bothers me. I donated 5 to a family, last year. I'd hate to think they'd miss that (if I didn't shoot a bunch). I think about that.

ok I would not shoot a fawn with spots but I would shoot a yearling!

Unless your reasons are QDM I just don't see the difference. It would seem that in many areas you might even benifit the herd if the fawn is sporting spots too late in the season to be a good bet to winter thru. If it's legal and you want to shoot it go ahead.

It'slike some guys have got a Bambi thing going on. I have in the past shot a deer that did not have spots but only required a little force to put into the fridge crisper drawer.

I just hope none of you folks drive anymore carefully when the car in front of you has a "Baby on Board" sign than you would otherwise.

I'm in the minority, I don't shoot doe fawns. Probably the biggest reason I haven't mistakenly shot a button buck in over 20 years.

If I decided to shoot a fawn it wouldn't necessarily have to be a doe.

A tag, which I always have plenty of, a clear shot, and the 100% knowledge it's a female. Easy drag too.

I shoot a doe fawn every year late season.

i've got a couple of reasons. first the amount of deer around my area is too high. I only shoot if i know that its a doe. and every year my family hosts a end of summer barbeque and we roast a40 lbpig and usually do a barbeque fawn(basically the same as a pig roast)
