you shooting nursing does? First thing I thought as well... 2 for 4 deal I need your number. Next time I have some deer come in to my stand and make a very educated decision about how I manage the herd on my own land, I will call you to make sure I get your approval. I manage deer ethically and with conservation of the future herd in mind. I let way more deer walk than I take.

My wife has a black German sheppard that looks just like yours. Pretty dog, but I hate it. It's not very protective of her and he took a diarrhea dump on my weed eater lying on the floor of my basement the other day. We couldn't be happier with ours. He is amazing and he walked me straight to both of the deer that I shot this week. I think a lightbulb went off in his head and he is gonna be a fine tracking dog. It's great too because he's about 135lbs and a big black bear was spotted just a few hundred yards from my land (no I'm not saying he could kill a bear but it might give me enough time to pull out my pistol or get away!) He is VERY protective, in a smart way, of our family and our land too so that's great.

If the doe doesn't have a fawn with her, i'll shoot her in a minute. If they don't want you shooting doe's this early, well then they need to stipulate no doe's until such and such date. Easy to see nipples on a dead doe, pretty hard to see on one walking around. We shoot our doe deer during bow season and rarely shoot one after that. they do in the south zone.... 10 days. It should be longer than 10 days, but beggars can't be choosy with this kill as many as you can mentality of our Department of Conservation....they ain't conserving a damn thing when it comes to doe limits

Congrats! It is kind of strange to see a doe with large tits this time of year, but I think BhamFred did make a good observation and there may be a fawn nearby because sometimes the doe will feed and leave the fawn safely in the bushes sometimes a hundred yards or so away and if is not weaned it will not survive. Sometimes they will drop a little late and was wondering if you had this deer on camera?

Y’all relax. I shoot nursing does every single year. Killed 5 out of one tree in bow season a few years ago and all 7 fawns were fine. They were all still there at the end of season and healthy as could be.

I manage deer ethically and with conservation of the future herd in mind. I let way more deer walk than I take. You might actually need to get his number and use his advice .......... Tell you what, when I need advice on how to be an armchair quarterback I know where to go; OR, I could rely on my personal knowledge and better education of the Deer on My Own Land. This education comes from: Thousands of dollars spent meeting nutritional needs during the off season, Managing predators, Hundreds of hours in the stand each each year, Thousands of pictures, and hours and hours of video watching these EXACT deer. I am absolutely NOT a, " If it's brown it's down guy." I educate myself and ask questions directly to biologists (one has already commented above), QDMA, guys, read, watch and learn everything I can about the specific and unique needs of the deer on MY OWN PRIVATE LAND. When I kill a deer it is an educated decision not one of shoot everything in the woods. If am heavy handed with the does on my land because we are slap covered up with them. Last year I took two. Year before I didn't take any from this property. Instead of worrying about the deer on my property, leave that to me since I have physical evidence with which to make educated decisions.

How many of y'all non-doe shooting 'pro managers' ACTIVELY kill coyotes YEAR ROUND to do your part on seeing fawns make it into at least juvenile age? I have my suspicions.

They were all still there at the end of season and healthy as could be. Don't go bringing logic to a discussion fueled by emotion... I have witnessed the same thing. Last year, we had a spot that someone hunted that he said was like a deer daycare. There were several fawns running around where the does had been shot during archery. We don't kill too many does during rifle season. However, as I get older, I won't shoot a known nursing doe, not for logical reasons, but because I don't want to.

If the fawn isn't in sight, how are you supposed to know if it is nursing or not? Just don't shoot any does? Install mirrors all over the ground so you can see their tits?

If it’s legal shoot what makes you happy! You buy your hunting license to hunt, screw what other people think. If there’s no fawn around how are you suppose to know. Haters gone hate
May not have killed anything, but always a good time

He almost died of parvo when he was a puppy not sure if that has anything to do with it.
