Bawanajim, your too much, and you beat me to my thought...
How about the double chin or in my case the triple chin?
The Doe probably doesn't put out much, unless it's your birthday or something, and you have to keep on reminding them that it's not just for peeing! Opps!

When I see a family group of does and fawns, it usually consists of two adults and 3-4 fawns. Usually one of the adults is much larger, she is the matriarch. If you see multiple doe units in a field feeding in close proximity, the most senior ranking doe will be treated with the most respect by the other deer. They are mostly related to each other, all of them.

Just like in bucks.....the largest one isn't always the dominant one......NOR is she necessarily (and in the case of the area I hunt....predominantly) the oldest

I see doe groups as large as TWELVE.

MOST of the time they are ...... they are bigger because they eat first ....at least that's what I read

So She will run off attempts at breeding? I would think if she is so dominant and this statusgives her some magic woods wisdom she woud attract or seek out the best mate?
