Default Yearling doe or mature doe

In another forum, I read a post where a guy said they should stop shooting fawn does and only mature ones. He did not support his statement. I have always been told it better to taken the fawn DOE for several reasons.
1. Leave the matures for bucks to run in the Rut.
2. Mature does when bred pass better genes to fawns making for better bucks.
3.When a fawn breeds she has only one versus two or more with mature.
4. In winter kill states, the fawn is the first to perish.
I have several more reasons but you get the gist. What do you all think and how do you support your opinion?
