RE: Shooting Fawns?
When you clarified and said 7 month old deer then it sounds better, that is a yearling.. I call any deer over about 4 months old as a yearling. Fawns are (to me) spotted or recently spotted little deer.

I would shoot the fawns hell thay taste better but yeah there the frist to die up hear in the north plus it takes one less mouth off your land to help the outher deer make it past the winter plus if that gets bread it will keep getting having smaller and smaller fawns

Let the fawns grow.

"everyone says "fawns are the best meat", the classic way to church up shooting a bambi. all the bucks i shoot seem to have tender meat. a good rule of thumb is if its smaller than your dog...DONT SHOOT" (ReDoT)
i am agreeing 100% with both of you!! i stopped coming to this thread because just from reading this i feel bad for the fawns......you can call me soft or what ever, but imagine if you were a Doe and you were with your fawn, and then the fawn gets shot, then what??? if everybody get into the habbit of killing young deer because they taste good, then the population with decrease rapidly what ever thats my opinion idc what you think
goodluck and dont shoot the small deer!!!lol

RE: Shooting Fawns?
A question for those opposed to shooting fawns: Are you opposed to eating veal and lamb also? Or is it a “macho” thing to not shoot fawns? The only reason I’ve seen for not shooting fawns is the false argument that it will negatively impact the herd.
