Default To shoot or not to shoot?

Ok, this will be my third season hunting. During Early Archery last season I had the following happen.

I was in my stand early evening. I had a mature doe and 2 younger ones come down the lane and feed in the food plot. The younger ones did not have spots but it was obvious they were young. They fed for what seemed like forever. I had a dozen opportunities to shoot the mature doe as they fed. However, I did not. I kept thinking about whether or not the younger ones depended on that mature doe, and could not take the shot.

My husband told me I did good. Others have told me it was a mature doe and they would have shot it. I feel good about my decision, I'm just wondering what you all think.

Thanks!
