First Deer - Button Buck
#13
Congrats!
Learn how to judge a doe from a button buck, and move on.
I think years ago we bought a poster from QDMA about judging does/button bucks, they probably still sell them, nice poster to hang in deer camp etc...

I wouldn't worry to much about shooting a button buck.
The bucks that really need to be spared if your managing for big bucks is those nice 2 year old bucks. People shooting those is where it really starts effecting the heard IMO.

I got my first deer on Friday. I thought it was a doe, but turned out to be a button buck. Everyone's been congratulating me on my first deer, but I have mixed feelings. I really wish I just got a doe so the button buck could have had a chance to grow into a nice big buck. I guess these types of things are just part of hunting.

Couldn't have said it any better than that flags!!! I was out in Wyoming for 7 weeks this year and only shot a few prairie dogs myself. However, being with friends and helping them take game and just being outdoors seeing what God made for us made it as great a Fall as ever!!!
