I guess I am surprised by the number of hunters that seem surprised when they shoot a deer thinking it is a doe only to find out it is a male.
I certainly can understand if you are shooting fawns from groups of does that it is difficult to determine which are the buttons.
However if you are shooting a single deer out walking around alone, not traveling with other deer, the vast, vast majority of the time it has balls. This applies during all of our hunting seasons, even after they drop their antlers. The exception would be in the spring when about to give birth and the does split up.
I don't care what you shoot, shoot what you want, but some don't seem to know what they are shooting until there get to them and spread their legs. If you don't want to mistakenly kill a male let the singles walk unless you are very sure.
Again, not being critical, just a little surprised at how many hunters are surprised when they reach their kill.
Good luck
