If I didn't want the meat I would let them both walk. Saving BB on a statewide basis is just wishful thinking and totally impractical.

Take the doe. If you feel the area doesn't need antlerless deer harvested because the numbers are low, don't take either.

Gotta admit Ryan, that red button was a great idea!

Look at it this way, you'll get about 15lbs of meat off a button buck. Is that really worth it? I personally prefer to leave them until next year.

I think you need to find a new butcher if you are only getting 15 lbs. of meat from a BB.

[I butcher my own, and know 2 butchers. By the time you cut up a fawn the total weight of just the meat alone is only 15-18lbs. Alot of hunters don't realize that!!
