Here in NJ, our season opens the second saturday of September. You have to shoot a doe before you can get a buck tag. I rather shoot a fawn when its 70-90 degrees out than a nice, big, mature doe. They're easier to drag, and the meat cools down quicker, and there is no better eating. When it comes to meat, we're allowed unlimited does during any season, so I am usually not short on meat by the end of shotgun, which ends in February.

I feel its a personal decision, and as long as you make sure that you're not shooting a button buck, I have no problem with it.
