I never had until last year during muzzle loader season, the younger deer was still up her momma's butt, however she seemed old enought to take care of herself without the mom. The yearling was walking around her mom after she dropped, and i really, really, really felt bad..........so bad in-fact i was contemplating on shooting the yearling to put her loss at ease[]. I decided she would be fine, and anther doe would probably take her under her wing. So yes, i do shoot mature does with youngens, only if they are outta spots!
