I' ve never been in that situation, but I know I would let the two pass. About ten years ago, I put a heart shot on a Buck, and he evidently ran right between a Doe and Fawn. They scattered and the fawn was screaming it' s head off. Fearing my bullet went through the Buck and hit the Fawn, I went to find the Fawn. I found it, but all that had happened was it got scared when Mama took off. Man that tore me up when that little guy was crying like that. But they did get reunited about a minute later. One Doe walked out took one listen to the Fawn and bolted when it realized it wasn' t Her' s, then the real Mama came out and found Her baby.

And yes, I did retreive the Buck also.
