Thread: Telling if a hind has a fawn.

I don't shoot hinds until mid Feb and won't let anyone I have with me either.
If its a yearling maybe.
And Sika and Fallow I'd be very cautious about shooting one at all in February as their fawning is usually a month or so later than reds.
Shooting a hind and leaving a fawn to starve is an animal welfare issue.
If I were to put a fawn (or any animal) in a pen and starve it to death I would be convicted.
No difference.
