RE: Button buck breeding a doe!
I may br wr...wr...wrong, but, I was always under the impression that most button bucks (if they were born the previous Spring) are not sexually mature. The same cannot be said for the doe. I also read that50 to 75% of the does in some states/provinces mated with1 1/2 yr old bucks.
I guess while the big bucks were busy chasing/courting mature does, the younger ones always seemed to be in the "right place at the right time"...
