i say shoot what you like. if you shot a mature doe back in the start of the deer season its still the same potential bred doe in november or the second rut anyway. also fawns get bred the first year too. something like 25% of them depending on the state is what ive read. a mature doe is gonna be better at raising fawns because its been through a hunting season or 2 though .
