No farmer would leave dependent calf's to starve deliberately or take a ewe away from a suckling lamb and let them either die from starvation or grow up runty and sickly.
Same as homeowners with dogs and puppies etc.
As a hunter I'm no different.
Some people see deer as pests and so be it, but my circle see them as a valuable resource and we leave all species of hinds from start of December through to end of March.
As hunters we aren't that desperate for meat we have to shoot a hind during this period.
We simply carry on hunting for the next opportunity. If none present, still a great day out and wait till the next hunt.
Outside of those months then Hinds are most definitely targeted.
We aren't even trophy hunters, just simple meat hunters, but we'll also leave any good velvet stags walk. There's always another deer around the corner so to speak.
Peoples own morals and conscience will dictate how they act.
