[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3872757, member: 5412"] A lot of fawns are killed unintentionally. Prior to the rut does kick out the buck fawns they spawned. Most have nothing more than a bump on the top of the heads and they are typically seen alone on the food plots. Rifle distance ranges on a food plot, it's hard to tell if its a full grown doe or a fawn buck as there is no other deer around to compare body size to. After about 15 or so years give or take a year or two on a DMAP we have taken hundreds of does. We look for single animals alone with short snouts and consider them button bucks. Does always hang out in family groups, never alone in our area anyway. A long nose and a sagging belly is a pretty good indication of a mature doe which the ODW biologist tells us to focus on. At bow ranges it's pretty obvious what is a doe and what is a button buck. [/QUOTE]
