Not being familiar with the deer native to N America, I've just looked up this animal on Google. Beautiful creatures.

I'm afraid I'm one of those who shudder at the thought of lifting a gun, aiming at an innocent wild animal, firing and killing it.

I imagine to myself the terror, despair, pain and the final closing of the eyes. And could the does that are shot have fawns?

No. Not for me I'm afraid.

We have many types of deer here in Norfolk, and it's always a joy to catch a glimpse of them out in the fields. Or even in the garden (muntjac eating our plants the other night!)
I couldn't kill anything.
