Default Fawns and yearlings.

What is the point of shooting a young deer, fawn, yearling... ect. I just don't see the poing in that. I am not talking about shooting small pointed buck like a 2 by 2 or spike, because the trophy is in the eye of the beholder. For example if my brother shot a 2x2 that would be great, and would be a trophy for him, but as far as does and yearlings go, whats the point? Your not shooting a buck, your not really filling the freezer, so why not let it go and grow? I have seen people post really small deer, that i couldn't imagine pulling the trigger on. If you want to shoot a doe, to even the ratio, or to fill the freezer (like i did this year) why not shoot an older/bigger one. That way you take a deer with the least amount of life/growing left, and let the younger ones reproduce and get bigger?

anybody feal the same... or different? I would just like to hear your opinions.
