I don't see what the difference is between taking them early or late. Sure if it's late they are probably bred, but if you take them early you are killing a doe that would have been bred later if you didn't. I don't see the difference. I like to take them early and late.
I guess it's more of a moral thing. I don't want to cut open a deer and see little ones that never got a chance to mature. One of them could have become a booner. You never know. I'm definately not going to shoot oneduring the rut. You never know who may be nearby. There is nothing wrong with taking late season does, I just prefer not to. Now, I may take a doe fawn late in the season. More than likely she has not been bred. It does happen though, just not that often.
