Before you answer, I shoot momma. Actually I just did that exact scenario this past Sunday night. But one of my buddies gave me a lot of grief over it. I know at this point they are capable of being on their own, but it is kind of annoying when the yearlings just stand there waiting for mom to get up. Am I a bad person?
What do you guys do?

Not a bad person. As long as we can respect the animal, we don't have to equate them with human beings. They are animals that are here to pet or eat as a tasty snack. Like you said, yearlings can take care of themselves.

I have passed one that situation twice here lately once because the momma had twins and had them last year as well and the other time was just to give the boys the chance to shoot momma. The doe with twins is off limits everything else is green light for the kids.
The secret to a long marriage is to keep on dating, just as you did before marriage. We have "date night" once a week. Hers is Saturday, mine is Thursday.
The only time a married woman gives those is if your not married to them!

If the fawn has lost it's spots, momma is fair game.
There is the theory that if you orphan a buck fawn before it leaves momma, it is more likely to stay in the area it was raised.

I havn't shot a doe in about 4 or 5 years and it would be late in the season before I'll shoot one anyway. Which is good if you're managing for numbers since she already may have been bred and you're knocking out two or three mouths.

I don't think it is wrong. However I have not taken a doe in years.. I like watching them.
I love the rut. The woods are like a bunch of roided up meatheads fighting over a girl.

To each his own...I did it once with the yearlin in the woods/didn't see her and after I killed momma it ran out and pawed at momma and I felt terrible...I never shoot momma now at all and wait to see if any yearlings come out

What I used to like to do before they took away two does a day is kill the mom and then the yearling...
