A button buck is a fawn and should not be shot. There is a definate difference between a doe and a fawn and hunters shoud be able to refrain from shooting fawns.

When I took my son on his very first hunt, I had stressed to him to not shoot at fawns. He had a fawn under him for nearly 2 hours the very first evening and never even lifted the bow from it's hook. His first deer ended up being a P&Y buck!

A button buck is a buck and should be counted as such. Every monster buck started out as a button buck and would never have been impressive if they had been killed when they were young and easy to take.
