Most things you read out there say to shoot the mature doe.

I don't see how an older doe can have better genes than a younger one.

You get more meat from a big doe.

Personally I shoot whichever I get a shot at, unless they are in together, I'll pick a big one.

I feel the same way as Rybo! As long as they don't have spots, I putting it in the freezer!
If it has spots, you can cover those up with shoe polish!

I had that option this year, mature doe and 2 fawns came in. I took mama for a number of reasons main reason being more meat in the freezer and I only had 1 tag!
