Thread: Ethics of shooting pregnant / lactating Hind deer

last year I went for last hunt before it got too much into the dodgy period.....dog did great job winding and led me way down hill,looked ahead saw deer...its alive...ears moving...fawn...fawn is good...up came .308 boom..down went fawn to neck shot...then it struck me...fawns had only just hit ground
this fella couldnt go on a bobby calf truck as feet were still soft...no more than 2 days old...
bugger all meat on it...but we took the legs and crumbed them and cooked it just like chicken...delishimo.
