RE: Let`s see the smallest buck you have shot
Mine smallest was a mistake several years ago, had about a 2" spike on one side and a 3" fork on the other, I shot him/her with a group of does and yearlings, he/she was the biggest DOE of the bunch, probably went 180# on the hoof, and had a really small set of "nuggets." I'm still not 100% sure it was all buck, but it DID have horns, kind of.... Never took a pic, just tagged it in and processed it. Due to the 4" minimum, it still met criteria for an "Antlerless" deer!!!!

RE: Let`s see the smallest buck you have shot
This button buck was probably my smallest buck,in 2000, my first year switching up to hunting with osage selfbows. I spottedit walking along a field edge and hustled through the woods to intercept it. When I had gained ground 100 yds ahead of it, I crouched downbeneath some overhanging limbs. Then, whenit ambled by at 30 yds, I sent a 675 grn maple arrow throughits lungs.The deerjumped, kicked, ran in a few small circles, and dropped dead not 10 yds from whereit was hit. It was over in 5 or 10 seconds.

Shot him from the ground, thinking it was a doe. His ears hid his "rack"
which scored 8".That ended up being my buck for the season.
Sorry for the bad pic, I had to scan it.
