RE: Who has Eaten Fawn?
Depends on what you consider a fawn. I have killed 5-6 month old deer in October or November that were fine eatin'. I guess you could call them fawns although they had lost their spots already.

RE: Who has Eaten Fawn?
Never eaten a true fawn (from the spring drop and taken and eaten within 7 weeks)
But I have tasted deer less than one year old...and I think that's what you meant. Unbelievably tender and sweet..almost free of game taste altogether. But melt in your mouth tender. But seems like wasteful to the deers life and a lot of work for so little meat....BUTthen again, it's no different than veal in that sense..more expensive per pound but higher quality product in tenderness and mild quality.

where i live, Upper Pennisula of Michigan, we get some SEVERE winters and we have some Little deer going into the winter sometimes, that would never make it, so might as well take some of them and eat them...
