[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1305008, member: 7123"] You forgot the best option (arguably): Shoot one of the fawns. But shoot the doe is a decent choice too. The fawns will survive, 98% chance. The shoot both is ok too: If you go that route, shoot the doe first; the fawns might stick around. But vice versa; the doe won't, most likely. Whether it's ethical will be highly fact & circumstance-dependent. But I'd say generally that it's probably going to be unethical with archery equipment, and only rarely ethical (but sometimes) with a rifle and high-quality bullets, suitable for this purpose & matched to the chambering, & if you're close enough and have a perfectly matched trajectory through both vital zones (which is unlikely, given their two different heighths, but it might be, with a slightly uphill or slightly downhill shot; e.g. downhill shot, fawn on the backside). Whether it's legal or not, to do this on purpose, I don't know. I suspect that it is, provided both deer are legally harvestable on the day, and in the county in question. [/QUOTE]
