Default RE: how to figure out which does to shoot

I always try to shoot a doe that has a button buck for a fawn. Theoretically, the buck fawn should stay in that area and make it his core area for the rest of his llife. A lot of people will say that this will encourage inbreeding. Doubtful in my opinion. You just killed it's mother so he would have to breed to grandma or sis. And the odds are that they had different fathers than the young button buck. Besides, inbreeding takes place all of the time in the animal world.
I read an article on this last year,they tagged young bucks who's mothers had been killed.it was amazing, I wanna say it was like 85% never left the general area where it's mother was killed.good point.
