sitting home today i had a question and figured if i searched for a board i could finally get some opinions on the right thing to do.i have asked many but no one seems to really know so here it is. i hunt whitetail mostly in the pine barrens of new jersey. in the early bow season usually late september when im hunting. 9 times out of 10 i see mostly does with one or two fawns.very rarely do i see any bucks till it starts getting cooler out. i have hunted the same general areas for years and this is the norm. over the years i have passed on many deer because of not wanting to shoot the doe because i dont believe the fawns will do as good. once in a while i will get a doe without fawns and some button bucks that look like a doe but after killing a couple of them i have learned that the buttons look darker and act very different than a lone doe. i believe people who spend enough time in the woods could learn to tell the difference between a doe and a button so the button could grow up to be the next state record but thats another story. my question is if i shoot a doe with fawns is this a good idea. we have a big deer problem in our state but its not as bad where i hunt. in new jersey we have check in stations and all i see in the early season mostly does are being taken because of our harvest system .im wondering how many of them had fawns.
