I would go for older doe,and that for the three tags,many older does are sterile and in winter eat survival food needed for bucks and youngs to pass through winter

RAF said:In my earlier post I said I'd shoot the fawn if I saw a doe and a fawn. I have seen does with out fawns. I have no problem shoot a doe that is alone. Either she didn't have a fawn, can't have one or something happened to hers. I have seen does shot and they are still produceing milk. Somewhere there was a fawn who would get a meal and likely won't survive. I've seen yearling who don't have fawns and they're great eating. I stick with my first thought though, I won't shoot a doe with a fawn.
We do let 1.5 yr old antlered bucks walk. Anyone shooting one doesn't get invited back next year!
