Dont sweat it, itll taste the same...wash down a backstrap with a cold coors tomorrow and all your worries will go away.

But seriously, it would suck...I caught myself on a bb last October as I was literally squeezing the trigger on the release...it can happen to anyone.

Your herd wont notice the absence of one bb, its whiping out nearly all of them that does the damage.

Dang, forgot to add Congrats on a good clean Kill .

I've shot a button buck thinking it was a doe at least 3 times; if I had known it was a button buck I would have passed. Stuff like that happens. Appreciate what you got.

Who gives a rip dude?? I have done this more than once and I did it last year!! I have been doing this for almost 20 yrs and I make the mistake sometimes. You feel bad, but put it it in perspective, it's not going to take the world down!! Congrats and keep flinging arrows and try your best to identify buttons, if that's what you do and shoot deer!!

Happened to me 2 years ago. Not a big thing man. You have meat in the freezer and probably still have a buck tag left. Don't sweat it. It could be worse. I missed a doe last night. pfft I'm still sick about that. It happens. Congrats on a first day kill. If it was really small buttons those can be hard to see I would have done the same thing.

Don't beat yourself up to bad. It happens and its part of the game! Congrats on your deer, you have some good eating too!

Great post Kyle. I once called in a button buck not long before legal shooting light in early season and I could have sworn it was a doe. I was also very upset.

You made a good, quick kill......congratulations!

RE: Caught up in the Kill.
 

I'd be shouting PRAISE GOD!! :)

RE: Caught up in the Kill.
 

Eh... you're talking about the most allowable of all mistakes (only a mistake if you were dead set against shooting a button buck). A mistake like that is an honest one.

RE: Caught up in the Kill.
 

I agree with PT. That's hunting Kyle, I've shot doe fawns that I thought were doe's. It didn't bother me the least! You've got a tag or 2 that you can fill yet. Redemption can be a good thing buddy!!!

Congratulation's on an awesome kill!! Good luck on that buck your going after.
