Again, the majority of fawns are weaned by this time (just not all). Most hunters (again, not all) wait and take their does after they have "buck hunted" for a week or 2. For some reason these guys think shooting a doe will "mess up the bucks".
Normally, you like to get the deer off the range as early as possible. It does not make a lot of sense to let a deer that you are going to shoot anyway, eat the available browse for a month or longer than necessary. By harvesting you does early, you leave more forage for the deer that you are going to be leaving.
It is hard enough to get some guys to shoot a doe (which HAS to be done if you want to properly manage a deer herd), without them waiting until december and noticing the fetuses when they gut the deer. The does are usually bred no matter when they kill them during the general season, but something about seeing those fetuses turns off a guy that really didn't want to kill a doe anyway.
