Muley or white tail does.

Can not find anything that says cannot shoot does with fawns so guess it is just a matter of conscience and personal ethics. I'm holding off on doe until the "11th hour of the last day because, 1 I know there are both legal mulie bucks and Whitetail bucks in the area and 2 with the number of does I'm seeing it will almost be like shooting fish in a barrel, heck I have 1 doe that shows up within 5 minutes of me refreshing the bait pile and hangs around even when I'm sitting on a log below my stand. Be like shooting a pet almost

Finding a doe on public land that is open is not hard to do.  If It were me, I wouldn't shoot one unless it is above the road so I didn't have to work to hard for it.  It's legal and they are delicious....so I say whack one if you find one.  For the guys that want to only hunt buck or only whitetail does....to each their own.   

I'm not sure you need someone to give you a location.  Have fun exploring new ground, driving the roads and finding a plump doe to whack.  Heck....you may even get lucky and find a legal buck.  I personally don't care to shoot does that have fawns in tow, but it is legal and they are of the age they will likely survive if you do.  As for spots.....My experience is the mule deer lose their spots much earlier than the whitetail.  They also grow much faster and have significantly larger bodies than the whitetails.  Not sure the spots at this age signify anything more than they are this years fawns.  When winter hits, they will drop their spots and still be small.

Yup I don't plan on shooting a doe with a fawn or  a fawn. I want meat and to gain knowledge. I'll venture farther east into omak or Loomis.

Ya my plan was to stay out of the Methow Valley in general. I figured it would be easier to get information on does versus asking for information on bucks

You might want to stay out of North east Wash for whitetail does too. Blue tongue is running rampant up here. Last thing we need is more does killed...it's for our hunting future.
In the town of Colville they have had 83 dead whitetail die of blue tongue as of today at noon. Give them a break.

I believe the only unit open for archery Doe is 101.
Which is a pretty big area,with lots of public land.

And lots of stagnant water holes with blue tongue bugs.

NEVER mind I just looked 101 is buck only ,so there is no units open around here. But I don't do archery,so I'm no expert.
Not to get to far off topic......
But I do find it strange Idaho says EHD and Washington says bluetongue.
What do you think?

[StuckoYota99]

Maybe I'll target bucks instead 🤔

Fawns typically wean about ten weeks after birth and can usually survive on their own after that.

They can survive but it doesnt help their cause without a doe .

Im not against doe harvest . But in most units I feel it should be late season only . And some not at all .
