Tough call , but I' d go for the does who haven' t " popped" yet . Crop damage is the important factor here , and there are generally more does than bucks in most places . Taking a pregnant doe will be difficult , but you have to remember why you' re going to be there . I' d leave the ones with fawns too , but I' d take a button buck if necessary to reduce the overall number of deer . Taking the pregnant does will also take the fawn(s) inside , thereby reducing the overall number x2(3) . Game management isn' t always fun , but it will always be necessary . Bite your lip and aim well , you owe that much to both your benefactor and the herd .
