Good question...No matter what decision any hunter makes, it would be OK with me. I would never feel bad that another hunter decided to take a doe under those circumstances. Personally, I would make my decision at that exact moment. I have let a small (legal) buck walk at the next to last day of the NH deer season, and a few smaller size does as well, knowing I probably would go home without any venison for the year. It's just how I felt at that moment, and I continue to play by these rules every time I go into the deer woods. To each his/her own.
