Re: Unethical or cruel?

Here in Tennessee, our deer hunting season is designed to prevent this kind of an event from occuring. Our white tail deer rut is in the late fall, and fawns are dropped in the spring, so the time between conception and the end of the hunting season in early January would make "harvesting" a doe with a foetus that far developed seem unlikely.

On the other hand, our local bag limit is three deer per day during the entire hunting season, which extends from September to January, with the proviso that only two (in some circumstances three) deer taken may be antlered bucks ("button" bucks are not counted). The emphasis is definitely on population control by reducing the number of does.

I personally try to account for as many does as possible, since they are wreaking havoc with my soybean crop.
