If you're out for meat, the biologists will tell you to shoot the young doe so long as you're sure it's not a button buck. That little doe won't breed this year, but the adult will, and will probably have twins next Summer. So shooting the doe fawn takes one doe out of next year's herd. Shooting the mature doe takes three deer out - probably two does and a buck.
