Im glad. Now maybe we can let this post go back to waht it was intended. BTW, I think it is a good thread.

You had to throw that in didn't ya!

I would take the fawn. Only if I had a towel to wipe the milk off its lips. BTW, the spots make great "aim points".

Just Kidding:) I would take the doe though because I figure the Biologist know when to put deer season and I believe that a 5 or 6 month old deer could still make it by itself.

zak123 - I take my shots when I can :D

tender fawn is no different than tender calf or tender lamb - better because its 100% organic in fact.

Man, I liked the fighting. It got my heart pumping. So, how many babies do does have? Haha, just kidding. I think if presented with a shot of a doe with a fawn I may take it if it doesn't have spots.

Zak, lets remember that deer dont have conciences. Its not going to bother the fawn emotionally when its moms dead. If deer had human emotions they would be extinct by now. By mid August in most midwest states a fawn can care for its self. And when you said shooting a turkey from a tree, do you mean shooting it off it's roost or from a treestand. Both are harder than you would think. [:-]

I wouldn't shoot it off the roost.

RE: What are your ethics?
 

Oh, I thought you meant shooting it from a treestand. mb.

psebwhntr16 - me too. And I was thinking on how many turkeys have seen me in my stands [&:]

Zak - I believe does almost always have a single buck fawn their 1st years and almost always will those fawns have lost their spots by hunting season. Maybe early bowseason will see a few having spots, but thats not the normal in my experience.

Shoot the fawn - better eating anyway :D

I have read that most of the turkey's predators ambus the turkey from above. You will not be very successful hunting turkey from a treestand because they are always looking up.
