I'd pass on that small a deer, but the deer where I am are so thick that the limit is TEN doe....10. So I have a pretty good chance at something bigger. don't know about your area. The yearlings, I don't think stray far from a group at that age, so may give you a good indication where the more adult deer are clustered as well. Of course that doesn't help you secure a mature buck if that's what you want. I prefer doe for meat, and I try not to harvest the really mature buck in my area as he seems to like to push his does into the area where I hunt..., and he really helps to make more deer in the same territory.

Yeah, the fawns that I've seen have been running with a group of 4 doe and another fawn is running with a pair. We have an abundance of deer (we are allowed a total of 6 a year, 2 bucks and 4 doe between archery and gun) in Oklahoma, but even so does it it make it taboo? Is it generally frowned upon?
