I think people are shooting to many button bucks because that's the only deer they are seeing, they aren't looking carefully, don't care or can't see. But it isn't hard to tell a BB from a doe if it's within 50 yards. You have a scope, binocs or let it get within bow range and look at its head. The 2 week season was so people could look before they shot. The people in the western counties with plenty of deer have no excuse for shooting button bucks. You can find a doe in two weeks. I drive through Washington and Alleghany county 4 days a week for work and dodge deer the whole way, even now after season is over.
