i have the same situation with a doe and 2 youngsters (still with spots)feeding and bedding in the same area as my fav treestand. if i encounter them this saturday(ohio bow opener) they will get a pass from me.im not gonna waste a tag on 40 pound youngster or on the mom whose still feeding them. it just depends on the hunter..thats my opinion. i would not look down on someone who would or has, if they have the tag, they can fill it how they please.
