I' m a softy ,cant do it

Well, first we have to get our nomenclature correct. These sound like FAWNs.... not yearlings as I know them. A yearling is a deer that was born LAST year and probably a year and a half old. Those fawns you' re eyeballing are 6 months old.... MAX. They found the gravey train. They' ll eat there everyday until life is made miserable for them or they find some munchies that taste better. My hunting buddy loves that young tender meat. I don' t like it....too mushy, nothing to them etc etc etc. I' d sooner wait and shoot their mother. Like someone else, I can' t do it either.

Yep take them

As long as they' re not buttons, I' d say shoot them. Smaller deer are a harder target as their vitals are smaller, this makes it more of a challange. After you harvest one get a bunch of friends together (your friends from Huntingnet.com)and roast one on a spit like they do with pigs. mmmmmmm! invite me!

There is a town near me whose economy depends on the tulips they grow each year. The deer there are ruining the crops, so they are opening up a special season (bow only) on them being that it is inside the city limits. Its only open to the cops and city employees though [:@] All the venision will be donated to the hungry. If those deer are costing you money, eat ' em...[>:]

Sounds to me like good eatin' . I would be more than willing to help your parents with their problem. Nothing wrong with taking a nice tender doe.

Do what you feel you have to do!
Only you can answer that question, ( should i shoot them or not)
I personally, have a hard time shooting a deer that doesn' t dress at least 100 pounds.
But the venison is awesome!

I took a 1 1/2 year old doe last year that was so tasty it was unreal! IF they are fawns I might think twice.

Also I see you are in Mass too which means best case you only have one doe tag so taking both sounds illegal.

The funny thing is I live on the MA/CT border and in CT I can shoot 4 deer, max 2 bucks but could be 4 does. In Mass I can take 2 Bucks and 0 does! Bow season in CT is twice as long too.

The best eating venison on the planet. If your license allows.....take two they' re small.

Take them. The only problem is that once you' ve decided you will, the opportunity probably won' t present itself.
