RE: Would you shoot an immature Coyote?
Again, what does the size of the fawn have to do with the ability to see the buttons? Length of hair and size of buttons might impact the ability to see the buttons, but how does the size of the deer impact the ability to see the buttons?

If you've never seen a fawn with buttons so small as to be almost undetectable then you either havent seen many button bucks or your deer are far different than the long haired critters we have. I have noticed it is much easier to tell on early season deer here and on southern deer, but some of them are quite difficult once they get thier long winter coat. Belive me, I have probably killed more deer with a bow than many of you are years old, this in a state with very limited tags, my attention to detail is quite good.

What??

Also, from the size of some of those fawns you better have pretty good binos to see those buttons.

Okay. Some late and/or runt fawns will have VERY little buttons. I have seen some that were shot as late as our shotgun(can I say that here?)season which is in December that you could not detect buttonson unless you actually rubbed their head. That is what I meant when I said you may not always know what sex of fawn you are shooting, even at bow range. Especially on the very small fawns.I hope that helps.

First and foremost would be the size of the buttons ofcourse. But my personal experience has always been that the very small buttons tend to be on the late born or runt fawns. The little bucks will have a slightly flatter head between the ears but again, sometimes with the longer hair that can be hard to tell. Especially if they have been rooting around in the snow etc.

Shooting an immature coyote is a game time decision. Prob not, though.
