Never had the opportunity to shoot a fawn, don't know if I would when I get a chance.

Had it once last year. Opening day a dguy I work with took a fairly young doe. It actually still had a couple spots on it's rear. He shot it not realizing how young it actually was. Best tasting venison I ever had. Didn't get much meat off it though!

That's true about the amount of meat but if you hunt where they have unlimited tags that doesn't matter.

The big ones go to friends, the little ones go to MY freezer. I've actually had friends try to take the smaller ones when I've got a few in the back of the truck. No way, I say!;)

One night on our way back from State College we were like the "Meat Wagon"......we picked up 2 road kills that happened right in front of us. One a nice buck and the other a fawn with still faint spots.......oh what a guilty pleasure that young one was.[:-]:D I could have eaten the whole thing myself. Did I?;)

i think the best deer to eat is a nice healthy 90 pound 6 month old female deer, let those button bucks go if you can.

PL,
You got some big deer in KY huh? [:-] We're lucky here in PA if a 6mo. doe weighs in at 45lbs. In fact a 90-100lb doe is a mature animal here.
