There is no shame in taking any legal deer. As you said, you' ve been in a 3 yr dry spell.

Congrats and enjoy every bite.

Congrats, enough already---go fry up them loins...

If you are upset because it is small then I guess I understand but your not really taking " Your" potential buck away. This may sound greedy but does chase buttons off so they don' t imbreed. So that button would have been chased off, so you took someone elses potential buck. I have shot 6 deer and two have been buttons. I didn' t know they were buttons but if I did I probably would have shot them anyways.

It takes a real marksman to hit a smaller target . I shot a doe fawn during a four day antlerless only season, was easy to carry out, cut up, and makes tender meat. got another antlerless tag, will kill another bambi if it our paths cross

you do whatcha can in the deer woods. sometimes it happens. i try to avoid it. at least u got THE best eatin

I killed a doe last week that from a distance did not look as small as it turned out to be. But the meat was good! I have a freezer full from the 8 pointer the week before so I went ahead and ate this little doe over the weekend. I felt bad at first, but not after the frying pan had meat in it
