I got the same results on a large doe about three years ago. This bullet is unbelievable and very effective. I use it in my Hawkens carbine 54 cal. It has a twist rate of 1 in 24" and loves to shoot the Barnes sabot very accurately.

Roger,
I am not sure where in my post it states I intentionally shot it becasue it was a button buck. I can't say I would have passed it up if I had known prior to the shot though. It happened pretty fast. Can anyone tell me a surefire quick way to determine the difference between a button buck and a doe from a distance?

There isn't and I for one assumed you were filling an anterless tag. That was obvious to me. I wouldn't sweat it. I'd sure like to have an antleress buck like it in the freezer right now. Well done.

I have shot many deer in this class and I never felt it was wrong. I think too many people try to humanize animals. Hollyweird should feel proud of what they have perpetuated.
Good Hunting!!!
