    In this episode, we take a deep dive into the 1980 paper titled " Effect of Fall Orphaning on White-tailed deer fawns and yearlings" by Dennis Woodson et al. In which, the scientists asked the questions: What happens to fawns after you shoot their mom? Do fawns die after being orphaned? Do orphaned deer find a new mom? Do doe fawns and button bucks respond differently to orphaning? Do fawns with siblings increase or decrease survival rates? Do orphaned deer travel further? Are orphaned does more or less likely to get bred in their first year?

    We discuss the potential implications of this data, and how it can be used to improve our hunting ethics; including knowing when it might be ok to shoot a doe that has a fawn or fawns.
