I just think its odd how caught up some people get with antlers. That said, I passed a couple of forkies this season. One typically has to pass something up to take a trophy. And while I understand why one would like to take a trophy, and why I wanted to take one this season, in the end, I wish I had take one of the forkies and had the meat in freezer.

When I lived in Oklahoma I took a few buttons. I didn't like taking a nursing doe and would prefer to take a fawn or a large solo doe. But back then we were trying to increase the deer where we hunted. Anyway, I certainly don't feel ashamed about it. I don't know of any possible way to identify a first year buck at 200 yards. And if its a button at 1 1/2 it needs culled anyway. A no-no? Whatever LOL.
