On appeal, Bowler contends that (1) the Legislature has not authorized the killing of fawns and (2) the killing of fawns constitutes an unconstitutional taking of private property. Finding no merit in either of these contentions, we affirm the judgment. See State v. McKinnon, 153 Me. 15, 18, 133 A.2d 885, 887 (1957).
