also what about the "do gooders" that pick up baby animals cause they think they (the babies) are abandoned. i agree with all the above posts... education is the key...

In adition to being totally stupid, and completely unethical - as soon as they grab it, they are in violation of several laws prohibiting illegal possession of wildlife, take closed season, take by an illegal method, harassment. 
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

I would recommend only taking pictures.  The mom may abandom them or the human scent may be detected by preditors to give away there hidding positions.  Not a good idea.

" 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

I do think it's pretty messed up to chase them and put your hands on them for no real reason.

I'm not sure I believe in the whole human scent thing making the mother abandon them.  I guy I know that works in Vail told me a story of a doe that put her fawn at the end of the log piles on the landing several years back, and he moved the fawn up the hill off the landing so she didn't get crushed.  He showed up the next day and the doe had moved the fawn back to the exact same place in the logs.  He moved it again, to the same place he moved it before, and the next day it wasn't in the log pile or where he left it.  While I suppose it could have been abandoned or whatever, I'd think the doe finally got the picture and moved it away from the logging project.

I have a huge heart for baby animals, I found an elk calf about 6 yrs. ago and as cute and cuddly as it was, the momma in me wanted to hold it, the common sense in me said no, that's not a good idea so I just took a picture with my video camera and can watch it when I want, and know I didn't cause it any harm.

what type of moron would catch a baby animal thinking it abandoned, especially a hiding fawn or calf? I used to catch baby birds when I was little..but come on.
