    I don't shoot girly deer. But if we had a deer problem here I probably would be for it.

    I don't mind at all to shoot a doe with fawns. Just try to avoid shooting one of the fawn has spots.

    If you knocked a buck on your string would that we considered buck shot...cause that's illegal.

    My feelings are that since deer are "heard" animals, the fawns would be ok. They would just be absorbed by the surrounding deer heard.

    I get one tag a year I am not even going to consider a doe or a fawn. Now please understand I do not hold or judge anyone by my standards but I just don't consider it sporting, if I wanted or "needed" to shot a doe or fawn I could get the deal done in about 15 minutes.
