It's hard to find "another doe" without a yearling early in the season. Those fawns may just be lagging behind her if you do see one alone.
I don't see many does leading little ones. Most of the time it is the other way around. It is not uncommon to see does without fawns in the early season where I hunt. I just have to assume if a doe comes by and nothing comes by after her that she doesn't have fawns, especially when she is dry. However, mistakes can always be made no matter what the topic is. I will not intentionally shoot a doe with a little one and I normally won't shoot a doe at all unless I have been able to watch her for a few minutes. If it turns out that she has fawns at that point, which it hasn't yet, then I did the best I could.
I actually have a couple of dry does spotted out that I have been watching. I am hoping to get a shot at one of them and let my wife get a shot at the other.
