Shooting doe with yearling nearby?

And it’s about a 50% chance it becomes a button buck because most does herd up after the rut.

This is 1000% true! Spoken from a deer hunter who knows what he’s talking about! Not one of these wannabes

So I've got a big doe that keeps coming around, she's definitely a shooter. However, she always has her yearling with her.

Do you guys take shots like this? I'm conflicted on it.

I would never shoot the mom with a spotted fawn, but is this yearling going to make it out ok if I take its mom?

You shoot a doe with yearly or fawn pretty give yearly a death sentence coyotes have it caught ate soon.

The only reason I would shoot a doe is for the meat. I want the best quality meat and quantity isn't that important to me. That means, as long as there are no spots and I can confirm it's not a button, I'll take the yearling. That's the best eating by far. Think veal.

I've been known to stuff a quartered up yearling in these bags with some bacon. Tender and delicious.

I have, in the past, shot the mom. The kid runs off, then comes back, and sometimes I shot it, also. I haven`t shot a doe at all over tha past several years. I prefer to shoot bucks for the freezer on WMAs with the two free tags. If I need meat, I`m not picky about taking a young buck on a WMA. After I get 2-3 deer, then I normally go for mature bucks the rest of the season. I have let a lot of bucks walk, in my years of hunting, and quite a few were 8-pointers.
