Does

Knocker:
Thanks for the responses everyone.  I figured if Fish & Feathers was allowing us to take does, that they must have considered the fawn issue before setting the hunt date.  For instance, they say in the regs not to shoot a sow bear with cubs...

Around here, the fawns I am seeing are half the size of the does, but we don't have huge deer in Western Washington anyway.  We also have mild winters.  Tomm, I live in Tumwater, Washington.  I am hunting the Capitol Forest area.  I am sure there are better places, and might start looking for new areas as I get more immersed in Primitive Archery.  But there is something to be said about hunting in your own backyard...

Generally by hunting season fawns are eating regular food even if they are still nursing. A nice bid fawn will taste better and is easier to carry than a full sized deer.
   Bears take longer to mature than deer and the cubs depend on their moms to show then what and where to eat plus where and how to hibernate in their first year.      Pat

Justin Snyder:
Wet does taste like crap!!!!  Shoot the big fawn and you will be happier.  Justin

I used to live in westwern Washington and never concerned my self with the fawns as we have very mild winters. Mostly rain, right?

Justin:  Does the lactation affect the taste?  I'd never heard that.
