Well, depending on the length of the tines yes. Under about 1" would be considered a "button buck" IMO. Technically they have to have at least one antler 3" long to not be considered a doe by the MN DNR.

Well, just saying if they don't have one antler 3" or longer, you have to use a doe tag on it. :)

Well, didn't shoot anything this weekend. Saw 3 does on Saturday morning, and a yearling tonight. Was wandering around between 80-100 yards away out in the alfalfa according to the range finder, it stuck around for about 45 minutes or so, 30 of which I got on my video camera. Was too small to shoot IMO, my buddies little brother passed on it as well. I was kind of hoping he would take it, because it would be his first deer, and that would be bad ass to get your first kill on tape, whether it is Bambi or a 30 point buck.

We didn't get totally skunked though, one guy in our party of 6 got a nice sized doe, probably between 150-175 dressed just by eyeballing it. He shot it with his .44 Magnum, running shot in the neck. Had to have been one hell of a shot to hit it running with that big ass revolver. (You can use pistols in shotgun zone)

I also got some pics up of DeerKiller 9000 (My deer stand) I'll post them up soon as I get a chance. Anyone else slay anything this weekend?

Kind of forgot about this thread...

Well, my season was unsuccessful, opening night I saw two fawns and a small doe, probably a yearling. After that, I didn't see a thing. I blame it on the shit weather, deer don't move in the wind, especially when it has ~12" of wet snow coming with it :( I figured for sure Sunday night after the snow/wind let up for a bit, they would show their faces after being cooped up in the woods for the last 36 or so hours. They never came.

But, our party of 6 guys ended up with 2 deer, the one decent sized doe, and then my old man shot a TINY ass button buck the Monday night after opening weekend. Should be a decent amount of beer sticks/sausage for the 6 of us!
