The only way I would shoot her is if she looked like she needed to be put down.

Yep. All tastes the same in the frying pan.

Not me I will let her walk. I just feel it would bother me to much.

True fawn, no! Yearling, yes!

Research has shown that yearlings survive just fine.

Yes there is no reason not to. The fawn is old enuf by now to be on its own and should not be the reason not to harvest the mature animal.

I YES I WOULD SHOOT THE DOE. THE FAWN SHOULD BE OLD ENOUGH TO TAKE CAR OF ITSELF AND ANYWAYS IT WILL PROBABLY FIND OTHER TO HANG OUT WITH, SO YES I WOULD TAKE IT.

I'd shoot her, the fawns are alright on thier own.

Some things are true whether you believe them or not.

Oh boy. There is no good reason not to shoot, and in fact you probably would be doing the deer population good in most areas. Which is the reasoning I used last year when I took a doe with 2 fawns in Oct. Then I had to chase the fawns away twice. <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle> Talk about putting a downer on my first bow kill. A year later I know I did the right thing, but probably wouldn't do it again.
