Thread: Ethics of shooting pregnant / lactating Hind deer

It is plainly unethical to shoot a hind that has a young fawn, a fawn that is left dehydrate, starve and die if it's mother is shot. That lactating animal isn't going to be great eating anyway.
I have accidently shot a hind thinking it was a yearling and then later seen its fawn and not been able to catch or shoot it. That episode still causes guilty feelings.
