[QUOTE="Shanman, post: 5535728, member: 4101"] Maybe BSK can chime in on this but here is what I was taught. Fawns are born at a 50/50 buck to doe rate for a set of twins. The thought being if you orphan fawns then there isn't a momma doe to run the buck fawns off, thus having a better chance of retaining the bucks on your property. Now if a young buck fawn is orphaned and takes up with another momma doe then nothings changed. If wanting meat I've always tried to take a doe with fawns IF the fawns are old enough to be on their own based on what I've mentioned. If the fawns are to young and obviously dependent on momma then the doe gets a pass. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but this was the mindset years ago. Again, hopefully others with more knowledge on the subject will chime in. [/QUOTE]
