I am not saying count the button towards your buck tag but rather on the year end harvest report.
Whether it is juvenile or mature it is a buck none the less. I believe buttons should be represented as a buck on the year end harvest data rather than antlerless.
I would like to know how many bucks were killed, not just antlered bucks in my harvest report.
If 50,000 buttons were killed out of the 200,000 antlerless harvest that is 50,000 less antlered bucks the following year.
As I said I believe counting does doe fawns and button as antlerless throws off the actual sex ratio harvest when reading the harvest data.
I think that we can all agree that it makes for some interesting conversation though Josh.
Thats for sure!
