RE: do you think it's ethical to havest fawns?
I voted no but it's a circumstantial answer. If you, a family member or friend is hungry and needs food than no problem. Now, if you're shooting it just to shoot it than obviously...yes. One should never aproach hunting as a form of satisfaction in the kill but in the harvest. Try to remain ethical in your approach. If we kill the small deer than there won't be any larger deer.
A successfull hunt isn't determined by what you bring home.

I have no problem with anyone choosing to shoot or not to shoot fawns. I myself think its ethical as heck to shoot one. I was brought it up being told from my dad there's not a dam thing wrong with it. Its a wild animal, it don't have the smarts like a doe or buck but its still a wild animal you've taken.

I read an article a few years ago, saying it was actually more ethical to take a fawn than a doe. I think that it actually may be true in late season. Say you see a small fawn...possible a late drop and mom is dead,would it be more eithcal to take her rather than a doe leading two fawns?

How would taking a fawn be any less ethical then taking Buck, like GMMAT said, they look cute on a plate too. Ethical means right and wrong right? Hunters have to stick together.
