Catching a fawn
« on: June 28, 2009, 10:40:34 PM »
A few guys i know around here like to catch fawns when they see them.  To me this seems wrong.  What do you guys think?  Just curious if I am the only one.  Would the mother care that the fawn smelled like a human afterwards, I am sure someone has some insight.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Most does will abandon fawns after the fawns have been handled by humans.  I read a biology report years ago, they studied it and it was by far and away a bad bad thing for fawn mortality rate.

To bad momma is not around when they do that, she might knock some sense into them with those sharp ass hooves of hers.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I'd like to hang the *censored*s from a tree by their balls.  Thats just plain stupid, senseless, wasteful, and cruel.  DUMB.   I wonder how they'd like to have their kids starving to death, abandoned to the predators to tear apart.  Think of it this way.  Thats your buck they just killed.

 :bash: >:( Bad idea, running and chasing a fawn and getting them all nerovus and exhausted, let alone that the mom will probably abandon them after. That is just bad for everyone thing and everyone involved.

You should explain to them and give them an example of what it must be like. No different than some big strange guy chasing their kids around.  Just a bad idea all the way around
