    I'll shoot hinds when I can but not between January and March when they will have fawns afoot. Otherwise if it's brown it's down.

    I shoot hinds any time except when they have fawns at foot. Happy as to shoot pregnant hinds as they are pregnant 236 days a year and you know the fawn dies quickly.

    I hear you but in the Urewera, I have a regular school trip in there. Ive been going there about 9 years now always in the end of November, beginning of December. All the hinds I have shot have still been pregnant, not far off dropping though. Usually shoot yearlings in there though.
