RE: To shoot or not to shoot?
For me...I'm shooting that doe. Depending on where you are from might play into it a bit. Being from MN, by the time our bow season rolls around the fawns are plenty old enough to take care of themselves. They know travel routes, food sources, water, bedding areas and hiding spots. Not to mention deer are social creatures, they will hookup with other deer.
But something to think about if you are someone who won't shoot a mature doe early in the season. Just because a mature doe walks out into a field alone doesn't mean that she's by herself and is dry. I have seen so many times a doe walk out and then 5-10-15-20 min later here comes the little one or little ones. They were just off doing what they do. So where does one draw the line? Me? I'm taking the shot as soon as it presents itself. You? That's for you to decide.
