RE: Changing Deer Season Months
You can tell the difference between two fawns one being a doe and the other a button at 100yrds just by looking at them? Who said anything about comparing them to an adult doe?I didn't. Who the hell hunts deer in Pa.with a larger than a 2.5 to 10 scope or lugs around heavy glass?Or how many people spend 1000$for these things.Maybe 5% of the hunters.You can't tell just by looking at them.I will call anyone a liar on that if they use reg normequipment.

you've got to be kidding me right? I can tell a fawn with my naked eye at 100 yards, with todays optics, especially scopes, it's a lock.
I wouldn't shoot the fawn so......
There is a huge difference between a doe and a fawn. Do you need links to see the difference?

You can't tell a BB at 100yrds unless they are spawling with other deer.

Like I said I wouldn't shoot a fawn anyway but don't begrudge those that do, just identify your target first.

I carry 10X50 Bruntons, I use binos, I don't scope things I'm unsure of, and YES I CAN TELL THE difference between a button head and a doe fawn at 100 yards, sometimes further, first rule of shooting, identify your target.

The young tenderloins taiste good anyway.What's the difference between a fawn and a mature deer,Other than the mature deer can have off springs and the fawns most likely cant and taiste better? I might be disgusting to some,But I am eating some good venisonfor sure.It's a freakin animal.I think alot of people should join peta on here.Whats next,Protest veal?Hunters against killing animals of certain age when it is legal.To freakin funny.

Yes it is, and yet you complain the PGC isn't hanlding their responsibilities correctly. But your eating tasty little fawns. I guess you have no reson to complain about deer numbers then do you! Your freezer is full. I think the name "Brown It's Down" is available if you'd like to change yours. NOW that's freakin funny
It's a freakin animal.
hunters i knew all my life and thought they were great sportsmen,disappointed me..
they shot fawns, most were button bucks..
they seemed to be proud about it..can you believe day has come now that you go to club for beer and friends and they talk about DECKING A BIG FAWN BUTTON BUCK..
what the hell world are we turning into?
it seems that most have to get that meat to pay for that license,no matter if its fawn ..
like i said, i never thought i would see day that hunters would shoot a fawn or mother and whole family of doe and fawns..
i know there are hunters that hate what they see too and pass on doe/fawn..i know a hunter that passed on a 400 pd mother bear and her cubs..
i had gang say to me, they are my friends, they said,SPROUL, WE DROVE ALL OF THE DRY RUN AREA AND ONLY SAW AND GOT 1 DOE..there is no deer out there..
there you have it, what kind of hunters would go into their hunting area and kill off the LAST doe that was in there..
they did..then they wonder why no deer..they said,WELL, IF I DONT KILL THE DEER,SOMEONE ELSE WILL..
no words from me can explain that comment better..
there you have

RE: Changing Deer Season Months
I think what is getting lost in this debate is the impact on hunters. When I was younger I hated the three day doe season because I could never get out of school or get off from work. My first “real” job, I had two weeks of vacation, by the time deer season rolled along I was lucky if I had 3 days left. Today, I work for myself so it doesn’t affect me as much but I think it really punishes young hunters. I like the two week season but I also think the doe allocations need to be re-visited and adjusted accordingly. I’m all for proper deer management but there have to be some considerations made for the hunters as well.
