    some people will shoot fawns to keep their herd in check ratio wise. If you can tell the fawn is female it would be the same as shooting a doe. If someone has a lot of agricultural crops that are being destroyed by deer then they might wanna take out the reproducers (doe and doe fawns) to keep the numbers low.

    plus they are really good to eat.

    I am really careful what bucks I take but I too will shoot a fawn occasionally. Especially if it is the first deer of the year then I will shoot one. Now it there is a fawn and a doe, I will always take the doe. I also will never shoot a deer that has spots on it.

    My season started off with a bang. I got that 8 point on opening day and I've seen deer everyday I've been in a stand.

    Guys:

    I took my son Matt who is 13 bear hunting last weekend. We had two bears start to come in to the bait but both stopped shy of the bait. The first one was big, at least 350 dressed, I honestly think a little more. My son was eye to eye with him in a ground blind about 25 yards from the bear for 5 to 8 seconds, the bear backed out and circled a couple of times never giving Matt a good shot. The second bear was one was one we have pictures of, a long legged bear around 180 to 200 pounds. He circled us just before dark and never presented a shot.

    Matt was so excited. We did not see a bear Sunday but it was really windy and rained fairly heavily during our sit. Matt had football practice all this week but we will try again this weekend.

    Sorry guys but it may be a week or two before I get out in a deer stand.

    It's cool Dean. It's not a race to see who can get the points the fastest. As long as everyone contributes to their best ability, we'll do just fine.

    This weekend a cold front is pushing through south georgia and our lows are dropping to 50. You can definately find me in a stand all weekend. Thank god for the relief.

    Just throwing ideas out there but since Northernredneck is being deployed should we try to pick up someone else in his spot? It may give us a better shot of winning and I noticed that there was a guy even yet this afternoon that was in search of a teammate. Just curious what you guys think??

    Tony,

    Thank you for all that you do. Stay safe.

    2xlung5h0t - I vote you personal message the gentleman that said that the alternate sign up was closing down. If you do it soon we can find someone to replace Tony and have a full complete team. I say do it before the day is out. It will only increase our chances of being competitive! Thanks in advance

    Thing are looking pretty good here guys! I hunted a new area last night and saw a few deer. I drew on one but could not get set up before it was out of my small shooting lane. It was a doe w/ a small buck. They had switched order going through the brush into the field and caught me not ready to make a shot. Hopefully tonight they come out in the same spot and I'll be ready.
