Shoot a doe with a yearling??

[bigdaddy590]

All day long and twice in n Saturdays. I'm talking does with yearlings and does with fawns.

[M16]

Never have and never will, too many does without fawns so why do it?

Cause the so called barren doe probably lost her fawns. She will be in better shape next year than the doe with fawns. So it's better to shoot does with fawns.

Your opinion. I'll stick to mine.

Lmao .... I've been reading this entire thread wondering how many know what a yearling is.

To the original post, I will shoot a doe with a yearling any day of the week!

If I have a doe with her fawn/s, as long as there are no spots I'm shooting.

When you shoot a doe with buck fawns they tend to stay in that area.

If you just have to shoot a momma doe at least give the fawn a chance to say goodbye!

yearling yes fawn no.

I don't unless she is a blower. Then she earns it and can't teach her fawn/yearling to do so. Just my personal preference.

Same here.
Any doe that regularly stomps and/or blows gets shot, either with a bow during archery season or a rifle during general season using LAMPS tags.
Don't need those types of does around.

While bow hunting, I take the first doe that presents a shot opportunity, makes no difference to me if she has a fawn or not.

That ain't wrong, but it ain't right either.

But you need to drain the water.

Someone took a pic of an axis doe and was amazed how big it was, or something along those lines.

I would unless I had another choice. Like Limbwalker said, public land is a different animal when hunting. Any opportunity you get you better take or chances are you just missed the the only chance you had. Right now I have a pair of does with one fawn coming by my spot pretty regularly. If I can figure out which isn't the momma I'll take her out. Otherwise I'm shooting whichever gives me a shot.

I never have and will never intentionally do it. When I was young I was hunting a fenceline. Saw a doe and a fawn walk out on a pipeline clearing on neighboring property. Watched a hunter shoot the mom. The fawn followed her mom after she was shot and was with her when she crashed. The fawn was bleating and walking around her mom. The fawn heard the hunter o outpacing and ran off about 50 yds and watched the hunter field dress its mom. The hunter then drug the mom off and came back and loaded her up and left. The fawn kept coming back looking for its mom. I kept going the fawn would cross the fence so I could put it down because I don't think it was weened.

I guess I am to much of a whussy when it comes to animals
