My first deer was a button buck. But I think they should be tagged as a doe unless the antlers a above the hair line by one inch, 'cause if you're doing a push, how are you going to know if it's a buck or a doe?

I think a button buck should be taged with a buck tag, even when shot by mistake, I'am the one that put this question on the boared, at the time i was mot a member, so i didn't put my name on it.

No - Don't think buttons should be tagged w/buck tag.Hunter may not have buck tag to use.What you do then?? Everbody makes mistakes.Shootin a button should be a rare exception.
Hunter education,paying attention,being
patient are key to lowering the chances of killing a button.
Nice thing about using a Scope or Binochs.
You should be able to see those nubs.I glass everthing very closely! After a while you can spot those pesky nubs.
Couple things I've observed - If you see a lone deer,it might very well be that stupid button buck,just roaming around.He has no idea where he's goin.They are fun to watch.
If you see a deer sniffin anothers rear end,the sniffer might be a button buck.
If you see a large dominent Doe with 3-5 taggin along.You can bet 1-2 are buttons.
That button buck this year will be a nice 8-10 point in couple years.

I agree with every thing AJ52 said about the button buck topic, I put this issue on the board, to get as many replies as i can. I know my state regulations, here in Michigan, but theres a group here called Whitetails Forever Network, that is tring to change the regulation on this issue, making it that you have to tag a button buck with a buck tag, and i'am just tring to get as much feedback as i can, and see what our HUNTERS think about it. I know what i think, but it doesn't hurt to find out what others think on this issue.
