However, in order to buy a rangefinder useable at the distances seen in the area we hunt (400 yards in a close shot); you're looking at well over $1000 for the equipment.

You need to check again my friend. I have a Bushnell range finder that easily picks up trees, grass and woodchucks at distances WAY beyond 400 yards. It was $300 probably 5 years ago. You can walk into Gander Mountain and buy one that would work just fine for 400 yard antelope for under $200. The top of the line models are only $600-$800.
Here's two whole pages of them from Cabelas that are in the $200-$500 range and some of them are rated for 1200 yards.
Hell, you can buy a range finding SCOPE from Burris for $800.
On the issue of the "fawns".... I'll take your side on that one. If it's legal and you want it then shoot it. It's nobodies business but yours. I might take exceptions with the term "fawn" because it's not a fawn in my mind unless it's a
baby. As in can't survive without mama, still nursing baby. Other than that, shoot it if you want it.
