I wonder why people worry so much about shooting button bucks? I am sure there are more killed every year from disease, predators and other factors than all hunters combined kill in one year. If the Fish and Game Departments were worried about it, then only animals with visible hard antlers would be legal to shoot. For every button buck that gets shot by a hunter, I would bet that 5 or more get taken due to other causes.

If its legal, shoot it, take it home, be happy and don't worry about it.

Good luck.
