by the time the wildlife dept allows you to shoot does even late born fawns have learned enough to survive without a struggle. the third and fourth months of life are generally when they are taught by their mothers about the browse, mineral licks, clean water and dangers in their home range. fall mast crop feeding and winter survival are instinctive. want to have better rut action? shoot does early!
When I was a young boy of about 4 or 5, my mother asked me which I would shoot if a mother and fawn walked out. I said "I'd shoot the mama because she's bigger." Then she asked "Well won't the fawn miss it's mama?" So I said, "I guess I'll just have to shoot 'em both." Now I'm 19 and have taken brother sister pairs and killed yearlings late in the season that were still with their mothers. The little ones just seem to stick around longer when mama runs off.

I watched that same fawn several more times this year...it joined another group of deer and seems to be doing fine.

Nice shooting. The sting jump can never be predicted. You shot true and because of that, the jump was pretty much inconsequential.
Nice work with the camera. I still haven't been brave enough to try and film a hunt yet.
Enjoy the meat of the harvest.
