Hmmmm, from what I can remember, a 6-8 month old pig is best for a pig roast. A 6 month old kid is best when you cook goat. So, what's the difference if it's a fawn? DAMN good eatin' !!!!

Seen plenty of twin fawns this year. I've only noticed a decline to deer sightings after november 1st. Go figure.truck and quad hunters pushing them into the bush. During bow season my sightings were high.
I took a fawn myself this year.along with a mule buck and whitetail buck.

Good job AJ, nothing wrong with that.
I got my buck 3 days ago, he was chasing 2 doe, one fawn was just off to the side.
Like the parents giving the kid the keys to the mustang so he can go see Alice, haa.
Anyways after I dropped the buck both doe just stood around, I was really thinking about taking one of them on my supp tag. But I had a bit of work to do already, I was solo hunting, weather was good, +2.
Guess what I'm trying to fill now in blowing snow and -15 deg ?

Exactly. Now you get it! 
If you can't say something nice about a fellow legal hunter then shut your cakehole.

I enjoyed reading this thread. Applejax don't take it to heart. Some good discussion on here. You did everything legal and are entitled to shoot 3 deer. If you like deer meat all the power to you. Myself I like moose and elk and generally get deer made into sausage. I personally wouldn't shoot 3 deer because I think if I had 3 whole deer made into sausage I'd be sick of it in hurry. Besides the cost of getting sausage made adds up pretty quick.

Congrats Applejax!  Lots of good eats there!
Some people don't understand that from a conservation perspective you're much better off shooting a fawn instead of a doe. A topic for a different thread. PLUS, fawns are excellent eating.

Ya, you'll probably get flamed for it, but I have no problem with someone shooting a fawn.
But.... I personally would rather shoot a mature doe, but only because there is more meat.
Congrats on a successful season so far!

Right on! I'd be happy with shooting anything by this point. This season is pretty much shot. I have this saturday and next. Just bought a house so been busy working! Congrats nonetheless and don't listen to people ridiculing you. I've taken young animals before. They are tasty!

Nothing wrong with your harvest AJ. The fawn would likely not survive without the Doe. Should be some tender good eats. Congrats

Great job... you are correct, nothing wrong with a "SMALL" doe. To each their own....
My mama always told me if I have nothing NICE to say then I should probably not say anything....
I think some people respond to ALL threads weather it is is good or bad just to say that they have XXX number of posts....
