I took the larger of 2 doe year before last, turned out to be mother and daughter. The yearling had no spots , just smaller. Mom was still lactating, this was in mid gun season, felt like crap when I realized what I had done. I will try to avoid doing this again, however I'm not going to pass up a nice doe just on a suspicion that she is w/ her little ones, now if they are clearly her fawns, she gets a pass.
