[quote=jb20][quote=Skinny]I think our culture says that shooting a fawn is morally wrong and it will be rare that somebody does it. We really should not shoot does at all either, cause its too easy with bait being legal and such. U gonna start a fight with all that..đ well its true. bait and greenfields only gets does and lunchmeat. very few nice bucks are killed over bait and greenfields these days in Alabama. The only time ive seen a good buck in a field, he was chasing a doe and getting on with his business. You might have a 3yo come out in a fielf 2 or 3 times a year but the old ones just dont do it. I dont even think most old bucks would chase a hot doe out into a field. I think a smart old buck will most likely keep a hot doe hemmed up in the woods somewhere. Very seldom would an old buck let a doe drag him out into a field, theyre just too scared.

I still have not seen the formal regulation on this. All I have seen is a damn facebook post and that is not legit in any situation. Whatever cave hole 49er is in I bet his head is exploding.

I said "very few nice bucks are killed over bait and greenfields".
I would disagree. I passed the same two mature bucks last year 7 times total between the two of them, hoping my wife would get a shot. All 7 times, either at the feeder or on a greenfield. One was 5+, one 6+. Had I known that she wouldn't get a shot, I would have killed them both. I also killed a 4, a 6, and a 5 year old last year, one Alabama, two Texas, at feeders or on greenfields. Aged by professionals, not me. I'm an amateur. I see mature deer all the time on greenfields or at feeders.

Have y'all ever stopped to wonder whether or not the mentality of the DCNR is to use hunters to decimate the deer herd through the majority of the state?

I'm 57 years old, been hunting since I was a kiddo, have never ever shot a spotted fawn and I never ever will do so.
Biology or not, I think it's as stoopid as it gets.
If"n I ever meet Chuck face to face I'll dang sure tell him what I think about it.
Don't reckon I'll accomplish anything other than wasting my breath.
Who am I that my opinion would matter to him?

No way the non-hunting public will view this favorably....If that matters. Deer can be shot with their face in a corn pile now so shooting a spotted fawn shouldn't matter, either. It's just a deer. Shoot it in the head, skin it, gut it, cut off the legs at the knees and cook it whole. The reasoning of "There is no biological reason not to" is accurate. It's a deer. If we want to get into the "Aw, it's just a baybeeee!" game then we can set regulations with emotion and say a sandhill crane or wood duck or turkey is gorgeous and shouldn't be killed. Biology is what matters. The good thing is if anyone does not want to shoot a spotted fawn, just like with a doe or spike or piebald or whatever, don't do it. No one is forcing you to do so.

If it is legal now and you want some venison veal, go ahead. I just wouldn't advise posting the pictures of your trophy on Facebook, but there will be a fool out there somewhere that will do it. Another problem would be the cleaning. I don't think we have a Gambrel small enough to hang a spotted fawn and I sure wouldn't pay a processor for 5 lbs of meat.. Clothes hanger Naw clean it like you would a squirrel, slice the hide across the back and pull the hole apart with your hands

A mouth is a mouth but kiling a log of spots might be a bad thing on future buck population Great point. I can see this from both sides. I certainly wonât be shooting fawns personally. This is a rare moment of increased âlibertyâ in hunting. Take a picture, you might not ever see it again.

I agree. But being the skeptic I am and knowing the dealings of today's DCNR, I'm afraid what future "liberties" the DCNR negotiated away from us to get this "liberty". It wasn't asked for by us. It was just......there. A non-issue. Wasn't broken so why fix it type of thing? Personally, I don't care at what age deer is shot But if biology is going to used for this, when biologist make suggestions on other items, their suggestions should be adhered to then also. that hasn't always been the case. As I said, I don't really care when they are killed. But I didn't care if someone hunts with a spear which was another non-issue.

I guess I had too many treble hooks on that lure.....
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....
