I’ve read before a line “doe” this time of year could be a Button buck. Bigs boys don’t want him around and neither do the does. I will let them walk in case it is a BB. And I agree, single deer without headgear can be tough to size up sometimes. Especially when you forget your glasses. Lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowin Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Rarely hunt morning, but should have today. Light frost on shop roof, but nothing lower on deck, picnic table, or truck. Good luck to those that are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lomax Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Heavy chasing going down. Good 8 and 3 pt moving the girls around probing the bedding spots and grunting up a storm. Cameras tell me this was buck went past me in greylight. A good one but after another that still haven’t got a pic of yet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same problem, especially when I travel down to Letchworth. They are a little smaller down there on average. Not as much of a problem when I'm on the ground. I've passed up numerous ones thinking they are small and then the fawn comes out..Dam! Then the next time I shoot the fawn thinking it's bigger..;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggamefish Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I always look at the nose. If it looks long you should be good. Short noses equal small deer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the placement of the eyes in relation to the nose and ears. If the ryes are in the “center” of the head, it a fawn. If the eyes are closer to the ears, it’s meat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Ooof just saw a boner buck, crossed 100 yards behind me in the creek bottom. He was coming from the direction of one of my other stands I shoulda been in.
