I'v enever seen a fawn with "antlers". So yeah....if it was a yearling with 1" spikes....you just burned a buck tag.

Anything with protruding antlers (not nubs) is a buck. Basically.....you're not going to shoot a "buck" fawn.
so one inch spikes?

I thinksome of the different views on HNI as far as what deer some hunters will take, come from what they can legally take .....

Example ... GMATTS thread on killing a fawn ....we can't take unlimited does here .. so I wouldn't waste a tag on a baby .... more power to YOU if you want to .... leaves more adults for me

Anyway if you buy all your tagsin NY (Big Game, Bowhunting and Muzzleloader), we cantake2 doeand one buck ...plus in most areas, you have a good chance to pull and antlerless permit .... maybe 2...

That is why I would feel like I was wasting my tag .....
As far as tags go here in Minnesota it depends on the area. Last year I could only shoot one deer. Some years I can take 2. Its mostly been one for the area I hunt with the exception of a few different years.

Here in Illinois you can shoot two bucks and as many does as your willing to buy a tag for (archery). The bucks however are limited to two and that combines all forms of weapons. So if I shoot one with my slug gun or pistol, I only have one buck tag available for the bow. Same in reverse, If I kill two bucks with my bow before the gun season, I can only shoot does with my slug gun. This is why I will never kill two bucks before the gun season, I like to have the option of killinga buck or doewith either my slug gun or pistol(s).

5, I think 6 if you count your federal "subsistance" deer, but only 3 here in Kodiak.
