If I didn't want the meat I would let them both walk. Saving BB on a statewide basis is just wishful thinking and totally impractical.

RE: BUTTON BUCKS
Take the doe. If you feel the area doesn't need antlerless deer harvested because the numbers are low, don't take either.
Gotta admit Ryan, that red button was a great idea!

RE: BUTTON BUCKS
Look at it this way, you'll get about 15lbs of meat off a button buck. Is that really worth it? I personally prefer to leave them until next year.

I think you need to find a new butcher if you are only getting 15 lbs. of meat from a BB.

[I butcher my own, and know 2 butchers. By the time you cut up a fawn the total weight of just the meat alone is only 15-18lbs. Alot of hunters don't realize that!!
