Deer down.

[HuntOrBeHunted]

Shot a button buck before sunfall today. The deer walked out at the farthest point possible maybe a litte more than 200 yards out. I couldn't tell at that point it was a button buck it was on the move as soon as it stopped the first time I shot and got em down.

 

Good part is I have meat in the freezer. I won't call it bad part but im not a huge fan of shooting button bucks myself.

 

Good luck everyone !!!

At least you have meat in the freezer. You get the shot with a bow or a firearm?

[HuntOrBeHunted]

Yes for sure. And I shot it with a rifle.

Congrats! Opening day NZ you got one!

 

Thought the NZ followed the three inch rule. Ah, who knows. Again, congrats.

Congrats on the deer. I'll fess up and admit I also shot a button years ago thinking it was a doe. I've now learned to notice the block head and that a solo deer has a good chance of being a button vs a solo doe. Backstraps on the skillet today ?

Thanks. I literally threw them on the grill as I cut and cleaned them off lol, it was great. And at closer distance with differsent settings I would have been able to tell better. It was a super fast shot I kinda saw em poke out then dart across the feild first time he stopped he dropped.
