It happens. I had my first buck quarter towards me at 50 yards last year. I took a shot under/side the throat/neck area and ended up not hitting my mark due to being excited. I hit high on the shoulder and the bullet went all the way to his abdomen. His guts came out like confetti. |

My 12 year old daughter killed these 2 deer last Sunday during Oklahomas Youth Rifle season.
The buck was about a 120 yard shot and the doe was about 40 yards. She shot the buck and the does didn't know what was going on and hung around a little too long. My daughter has made several trips to the range with me this summer and practiced on targets past 200 yards. These are her 4th and 5th deer that she has killed over the past 3 years. The AR is my second AR and my first build. 6.8 SPC Bison 16" barrel, Vtac 11" forearm, Spikes upper receiver, Spikes Bolt carrier, Stag bolt, Spikes lower, spikes enhanced lpk, magpul ctr, pri waffle mag, BCM gunfighter CH, Vortex scope. Handloaded 120 Gr sst. http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n511/48down/IMG_5004sm.jpg |

I was on the opposite side of the tree as she was, and every time I peeked around it, she was staring at me. I watched her breath fog the air, as she stared nervously. Finally, she turned around and stared quartering away back down the trail she came in on. I started to draw, but stopped short when she looked back over her shoulder. After a brief moment, she turned 90 degrees to her right and stood broadside. By this time, she was a shade over 30 yards, and my adjustable sight was set on 20 yards. I held high on the vitals and watched the arrow arc right into the center of the lungs at 9:41 AM. She won't be teaching any more deer to look up at that tree. That is one big doe! What did she weigh in at? |

place holder and M4 you've got some big deer!

BTW how is it you could take two bucks or does the button buck count as a doe ? Thanks. to answer your question The button buck counts as an antlerless deer. The game warden who checked my tags confirmed it even though I already knew before he came up to where I was at. Here it is right out of the montana hunting reg. "Antlerless buck: A deer without antlers, or with antlers less than 4 inches long as measured from the top of the skull." Hope that helps. And yes it is similar to wisconsin. In fact the year I hunted there I used my antlerless tag on a white tail button buck too. |
|
|
4 inch antlers count as Anterless? In KS it is "any visible antler protruding from the skull". Button bucks are "antlerless" but a 1 inch spike requires a buck tag.

"Any visible antler" is the rule here. I found out the hard way last year. Shot what I thought was a medium doe, turned out to be a big button. His buttons were just not visible from the tree. I had to use a buck tag and felt bad I may have killed a future monster. |

Illinois, antlers 3" or less can be counted as antlerless.

I got drawn for an elk hunt at the end of this month and I'm looking forward to that too. |

Well when I lived in WA (mind you I never did hunt there) You cant even shoot a buck with visible antlers in certain districts unless it has 2 points on one side at least a certain size and some districts require three on one side. This also makes for some confusing discriptions of deer because you will hear people talk about two point deer or three point deer and they are only talking about one side not both like in most states where a two point would be a spike and a three point would be retarded lol. |
