No question it was the right thing to do. Buttons always get a free pass from me , but one with a broken leg would go down no doubt.

Outside of a mature buck, a button buck is the next best option for harvest (unless you have a doe population problem which most in Ohio don't). They travel away to a new home range in the spring so in most cases, you would never see what he would become anyway. It only hurts your distant neighbors future buck potential (and only marginally at that).

Yea Phil that thought was running through my head too at least its not a doe and two deer for next year when the release let go. Hate too say it with our counties numbers in the dumps along with everybody else's I would have give a doe a chance. Still can't understand our county being a 4 deer limit?

Me neither. It isn't about the hunters though. We have no say. We have a voice we can use. . . . they just don't listen to us. I am selective where I tag a doe. Try not to take more than one off any property a year unless I am seeing a ton of them. Not seeing a many at all this year.
