You know the guy didnt ask for a discertation on the pros and cons of shooting button bucks.... Gheez, you sound alot like a guy I know that goes by the name of neverwas...I mean beenthere on huntingpa.com.
Anyone who has shot a bunch of does has shot a few buck. The law of averages says so, the PGC says so and it is part of the deer management equation
Really? I shoot between 3 and 4 doe a year and its been 7 years since I shot a button buck and the only reason I shot him, is that is was raining and he was bedded down in the mountain laural and at 100 yards he sure as heck looked like he didnt have buttons.
Of all the guys that I know that hunt, and shot doe last year, only one of them shot a button buck, and were talking total harvest of well over 30 doe.
Bottom line is that we do everything possible to avoid shooting them. But then again thats us. We like having buck around.
So to answer the ?, I try like the devil to avoid it, to the point of if I dont know I dont shoot, just to many does out there to have to whack one if he maybe a button buck.
