NY Button Buck. Second deer

Last time I checked button bucks were legal to take. You might want to check out the "how to ruin hunting" sticky in the deer hunting forum. Good job BWB and cool pics

You did a fine job and you should be proud of yourself. Listening to your story brought me back in my mind to when I first started bowhunting. It was all I lived for, and I had many good times...and still do. Hats off to you fella! We need more young people with your interest in hunting.
Enjoy that meat you provided.

I normally would have a problem with someone shooting a Button Buck on one of my properties but this is a younger hunter and I think it is good to get a few kills under his belt. He could be home playing video games
As for an adult, I would say no way. I refuse to allow any adult to return to any of my properties for shooting a Button Buck (QDM)
CONGRATS ON THE DEER. I KNOW YOU ARE HAPPY

In all the places I hunt, Ive taken every kind of antler size,age class and sex, and every year I continue to see more deer than the year before, and I took my biggest archery buck this year. I think people who think they are increasing deers #s and antler size by passing on small bucks are just fooling themselves. just hunt, take what you want to hang your tag on and leave the rest , the deer will make more and plenty will live to get big. The fact that others would comment negatively on this young mans thread is shameful

Amen brother. QDM sells magazines and gadgets. Deer are wild animals not cattle or swine. If you want to manage animals buy a ranch. There are alot of big bucks out there and few hunters that make the effort or have the legs to go after them.
Be proud and support our young hunters. They will keep the tradition alive.
