Default would you take this shot?

Late last year I was out on my brothers 30 acres on the edge of a field where I had seen this 130 class 10 pointer a few times,I set up 4-5 feet in the trees on the ground with the wind coming straight at me across the field,long story short-I heard some footsteps and saw a big doe start walking right in front of me down the tree line, here I am with 3 doe tags left,great,I slowly drew on her and waited,I let her walk right in front of me (within 10 feet)then out of the corner of my eye I caught some movement,following her were two spotted fawns which for this time of year was odd but I have heard of second birth fawns before so...it was what it was...I let off slowly and just enjoyed the moment.The fawns hopped around a little and it was great for about 5 minutes.
Would you have shot her and let the fawns fend for themselves or maybe get picked up by another doe?I chose not to and still have three expired doe tags.I cirtainly would not have shot all 3 which was entirely posible.
