Thoughts on shooting doe with yearling

[Red Wing R/C]

That`s a no...no In my book!

[txtimetravler]

Fawns with spots - non targets

Yearlings = doe

Doe = backstraps

When it comes time for me to shoot does, I typically shoot the first one to turn broadside.

If the littler one doesn't have spots, I'll shoot the mama...

I dont shoot one year old deer of any kind......not enough meat for me

I had a doe with a yearling that would run all the other deer off. At first I tolerated it 'cause she was "being a good mama deer". Finally I decided she was just a nuisance and tickled her ribs with a spitfire. The other deer cheered as she tipped over.

TBH needs a like button like Facebook

If the yearling doesn't have spots moms taking a ride on the meat wagon.

Doe need to be mature nanny does. If she has twins I may or may not give her a pass. Our land owner gives us a quota based on his aerial survey. This year it's 30 does. Last year it was 25. There are 7 of us on the ranch so we have our own self imposed rule that you must shoot a doe before you take a buck.
Most of us generally get most of our doe killing out of the way before we start shooting bucks. Sounds simple huh? Not if you are bow hunting only. We do sometimes rely on crossbows with family members, Kids and select guests to help on doe eradication. No wait. That's Doe harvesting.

Too many people are confusing fawns with yearlings. Big difference.

Yep.
And bobcats and Ocelots.
