Growing up in Michigan, we were able to acquire antlerless tags (doe permits) so I know where your coming from history wise.

We can take up to 6 antlerless a year during season in NC, and I "typically" will not shoot a doe still tending fawns unless I can take the fawns as well.

I have no reservations shooting fawns. The eat just fine.



Here, I'm less likely to be concerned with the winter kill, and more apt to think coyotes taking the young/sick/injured.

In general, I'll shoot any injured deer I see. They eat ok too.
