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.
