Ever try to arrow one?
They never stop moving, and fast. You can yell at them and they ignore you. A button buck will look at you while you aim, watch the arrow leave your bow, watch it coming in and see it smack them in the chest and still not know what is happening. And now for the cooking section:
Herbed Button Buck Roast

4 lb Venison shoulder roast; floured & seasoned with salt & pepper to taste
3 tb Cooking oil
1 Onion, sliced
1/2 Green pepper, chopped
2 cl Garlic, minced
16 oz Can tomatos
1/2 c Port (wine)
1/2 ts Fresh chopped parsley
1/2 ts Thyme
2 Whole cloves
10 Peppercorns
1 Bay leaf

Brown floured roast in oil in dutch oven over medium-high heat. When brown,remove meat from pan, set aside.
Fry onions, peppers and garlic for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add tomatos,port, herbs and spices. When mixture comes to a boil, add the roast and baste with sauce. Cover and place in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees and cook for about 2 1/2 hours or until tender. Baste several times with pan juices during roasting. Slice thin and serve with pan juices. Serves 4-6.

Damn livbucks, you had to pick the day I skipped lunch to post that....

*droooolllllllllll*

Think it'll be some chicken-fried-backstrap for dinner this evening.....

I like to use a dribble of Olive oil on them backstraps. Adds just the right nuance.

Yes I have tried to aarow one.;)

That is simply a young deer that is inexperienced which is different from being dumb. A rutting buck ignores the danger signs that they are all to aware of while chasing does.

Thanks for the recipe.

If you need an example of "Fair Chase" versus "High Fence" look at what Jack Brittingham kills with a bow every-year. Now, compare his results to some of the best "Fair Chase" land owners, Kisky's, Drury's, and Lakosky's for example. Are they killing a booner every-year with a bow? Nope.... If you don't see a difference than you don't know SQUAT about bow hunting for mature whitetails......

Oh sure, enjoy!

I'm sorry..We'll call them "exceptional" button bucks from now on.

I have a game camera...hardly ever get anything but does and fawns on it. I use it to get me and my Dad and brothers a little excited and looking forward to bow season. I can't bait them if the camera is set up anywhere near my stand sites, that would be illegal in PA. I have only ever seen one buck during season that I got a pic of preseason. I'd like to take a dump on this thread. Atlas should write for PETA.

I scout deer.


How could you possibly read the thread as many times as you say you have and STILL be 100% clueless as to what it is about??

Amazing.

I have not questioned anyone's hunting methods even one time. You obviously have not read anything you say you did or you wouldn't be so off target.

Hi Atlas,
How's it goin'?
Dem buttons sure are tender.

RE: I think it's time to stop the "fair chase" charade
 

Of course not.



Agreed...........I just wonder how many of those beasts sit around and tell each other how "fair chase" it was when the 4 tiger tag team took turns running after a gazelle until he got too tired.
