Thread: WARO

It's up to the processor what and when they accept or not, pretty simple really. Game management can be controlled by them plain and simple. Doc have no say in that side of it and there will always be operators to supply. I'm sure a venison processor would not like evidence of orphaned fawns reaching their expeort market.

@puddleduck how many orphaned fawns do recreational hunters leave every year? Bit disengenuous to think that it’s purely waro operators that do that regardless of how you feel about it

I cant speak for anyone else but in my 50 years on Gods green earth that would amount to.....let me think.......zero....one was right on weaning age and I wasnt quick enough to get gun off son to shoot it after he had dropped the hind...but other than that one...zip,nada,none whatsoever. I prefer eating fawns to hinds or big stags anyway...KFF is a great meal.

I would have when I was young and ignorant, but haven't for at least 30 years. No hunters, young or old I know do it nowadays. Hunters are a lot more educated due to better magazine articles, TV programs and generally more understanding of the seasonal habits of deer.
WARO operators know exactly what they are doing when they shoot a hind in January in milk.
So yes recreational hunters of course do it but they are probably ignorant or just cruel.
