i would let them have it, if they are big mature does take them. They will fill the freezer. Other does will move into the area. then you can focus on gettin the big buck the rest of the season.

I read a article in Deer and Deer hunting, it said a mature doe had like a 65% of having a female fawn.... and a younger does only had like a 33% chance of having a female. if I remember it right... I'll try and find there article

Unless your doe to buck is in the 2 to 1 ratio, I'd let them have it. Around here there is always another doe to take it's place
