[quote=jallencrockett] We were told at our hunter safety course that if a doe comes out with nursing fawns to go ahead and shoot her as deer were like rats.
A hunter Ed instructor actually told you that?
I taught hunter Ed for several years. We never pushed any kind of game management.
Our job was to focus on safety and ethics.
Personally I don't shoot any doe with a fawn. [/quote
We hosted 3 QDMA seminars at Troy about 15 or so years ago, it was about like a wild turkey meeting/fund raiser. Eat, listen to a few speakers and then it was SELL, SELL, SELL and make money time. I ask one of the biologist a similar question, "If a doe and two doe fawns come into a food plot, which one should you shoot?" He said "Shoot all three of them." I honestly can't remember what his name was.
