Yes, because 95% of the time that button buck is with it's mother and other fawns. The mother is normally very protective and aware when trying to teach its youngsters and you have at least 3 sets of eyes to try to fool. Even when I have no intention of shooting at them I get busted by a mature doe with her fawns much more often than a 1 1/2 yr old buck. Matter of fact I can't remember the last time I have been busted by a 1 1/2 yr old buck, it has been years. Also in my main hunting area in Southern Ohio we see more 1 1/2 yr old bucks than does, some days 2 or 3 times as many young bucks.

Also all these statements about trophy hunters trying to make it easier for them to kill big bucks is ridiculous. We don't even live in the same area, how could you help me by passing on the young bucks? We are all simply stating our opinions and I agree that it is OK to disagree.

So how many of you that think the yearling fawn is the easiest to kill actually shoot them? Atlasman said he is after the first legal deer that he has a tag for, does that include these yearlings that are so easy to kill? Just curious.
