BC your intellectual deficiency make it impossible you to comprehend reading at evena middle school level.

My point which I am typing very slowly so maybe even you will understand.
If you are so inclined to kill a fawn, as asinine as I find it ,knock your self out,but to get on an open forum in search for atta boys to condone your inability's to succeed at your chosen endeavorer's is just plane pathetic.

This is in reply to Buckmasters519 comment. Actualy shooting doe fawns is really not much differant than shooting adult does when your talking about the buck to doe ratio. In most cases you want to shoot the does anyway cause in most casesthere are too many of them. Besides how is shooting an adult doe that has ben bred and will be having little ones the next spring any different than shooting a doe fawn that might not come into season until the following year? Your still taking a doe that could produce buck fawns. I personly try to steer clear of shooting fawns but I dont have a problem with people that do. You critisize peope who do because you say a fawn isnt a challenge, it may be to someone.You also saythat it damages the deer herd. If your so wise on deer managment you know that in a perfect world you would have about a 1 to 1 ratio of bucks to does maybe 2 does to every buck and by taking one doe you are most likely taking out a doe and a buck that she would have had thenext year. With that being said itsnot throwing the herd out of balance at all. Maybe you should read up on deer managment a bit more, cause if shooting a doe fawn screws your deer herd up that much there is something going wrong with your managment practice.

I don't understand why the boy will kill a fawn when he doesn't want to, JUST to get the first one under his belt ..... now if he wanted to kill it, that's different, but if is just trying to get that 1st one out of the way ... that makes ZERO sense to me .

If i recall iu didnt say just shooting one fawn will be messing up the herd. i said over time. And i know it is good to shoot does because ther r so many. Some does become sterile at an older age and why shoot a fawn that will most likely be perfectly capable in a few years to reproduce.
I wasnt trying to critisize people if it came off that way im just saying that i dont shoot fawns becuase of the impact it can have and my knowledge might not seem very good to you but u r also in Illinois and the deer are different ther because of the different habitat and etc. Im only 17 but i have a really good friend who graduated from A&M with a degree in wildlife biology and works for the texas parks and wildlife and he backs me up 100%. So it may seem like i dont know antything but who r you to critisize me.

Hey Schultzy ....do you see where I'm coming from? ?

RE: Taking a fawn for the freezer?
 

I agree Tony as well. I wasn't exactly sure what you meant in your other post. I understand ya now.;)

To answer the question on the thread I have no problems in shooting a doe fawn. I'll usually take a doe but I've been knowing to shoot a few doe fawns as well. No button bucks though.

No problem here with the fawn killing.

As far as the "first kill" theory,I am all for a hunter that WANTS to shoot the first deer that they see, buck, doe, unicorn, or otherwise.

It is ABSOLUTELY not political correctness ... it is allowing individuals be just that .... individual ..... now for this individual, my tolerance ends when laws are broken .... especially God's ...
