RE: Does w/ Fawns....Not a debate....just information
First things first. The scenario you posted a while back ..... and the answer I gave, then....was about fawns. Different animal (so to speak). My thread today is talking about killing mama.
Nope. Like I said....it's the first time I've been into this spot all year. Though I agree with your assessment. I'm going back to the Saturday spot, this evening.
I was thinking about it this morning and is this the same spot you searched for that downed doe? If so that can have a lot to do with no sighting. After a kill by mine I get nothing for awhile even on cams.
Just a thought.

RE: Does w/ Fawns....Not a debate....just information
If you'll remember....I posted some photos of a few MD deer that a memeber of another site I visit (NC Deer) took while he was working with the MD Nat resources office (Not sure of the proper name for the entity) this past summer.
He'd posted on our state site about his doe he took here, Saturday morning....and how she had a fawn with her. I've been torn on this morally.....so I inquired to him about the question I had.....
Will the fawns survive....if I take out mama, now?

I'm adapting.

Good point Jeff. I never even thought about the late breeders.
Even still though, I wouldn't have expected to see any milk in mid November. However, given the same deal, I'd take the shot again. Also, to be honest, I thought that they were both decent does when I shot. When I saw the milk is when I figured that I shot mama.
Now, if a fawn has spots,....that would be a little different, I don't think I could do it either.
Good luck,
Waid

RE: Does w/ Fawns....Not a debate....just information
I didnt even read this before my new post but it`s along the same lines so I have an opinion on this already preconcieved-I would`nt shoot due to the fact that in Mn. we have so many wolves by my cabin( close to the can. border) that Thefawnswould`nt stand a chance against the preditors.
