RE: button bucks
Yes, I shoot them. If there is a doe with 2 fawns, and there is a BB in the group, that's the one I aim at.
I'd rather let the females go to have their fawns in the spring than shoot one. I will shoot a doe but if given a choice, I'll take the BB. Here in PA Bucks get too much protection with the AR's. I hunt in a 4pt areaand see lots of spikes and little bucks. They get enough protection.
I don't get all wrapped up in trophy bucks or big antlers. Its great to take a nice buck and it might give you some bragging rights but I like venison and don't eat antlers.
To each his own.
