Buttons eat good , and in my state you can check them as antlerless so that your buck tag doesn't get shot up . We only get one buck these days due to the efforts of whiny trophy hunter wannabes . My county is designated a reduction county for antlerless , they allow up to 8 , and since I'm a meat only kind of guy it doesn't bother me to shoot dumb little buttons . I prefer a deer that dresses out more , but late in the season I get a bit less picky .
