No. But if you have that urgent a need for meat, fill your boots.
I believe putting adornments on the wild animals...such as rainbow tape sets one of for a number of charges, from tampering/harassing wildlife, to cruelty to animals.
A few years back some wingnut woman in the USA got charge for putting little cross earrings on a deer she found in her back yard.
Also I guess if one was really mean, they could carry rainbow tape in their car and every roadkill deer they see decorate the horns.
For the record I voted no...I wouldn't hunt pets.
Tame wildlife ain't fair chase in my books.

Nope wouldn't shoot Buttons - Baldy Hughes at its best though. The last deer they had hanging around used to walk right into the store behind customers - that one got smoked by a loggin truck if I remember.
They aren't Disney U Grads though, hunters are they're main clienttel.

I think there must be 2 signs out there, cause the one i seen didn't have any rainbow tape on it.
the one I seen is on the blackwater road and it's 2 signs. the firs one says "have a Heart" then a minute later the next sign says "please don't shoot buttons" with a picture below it. maybe there is more then one buttons? cause you know how creative hippies can be right lol

Some years ago myself and a budy saw a deer in the ditch with a ribon around it's neck while we where driving out to go hunting. We pulled up beside it and it walked up to the passenger window and when I lowed the window it put it's head in the truck. I rubbed it between the ears and it had bottons... legal buck No we didn't kill it but we did consider taking it back to the college res.

I'd alert the fish cops about it, AFTER I smoked buttons!
It's ilegal to mess with wildlife like that, and I'd be puutting him out of his misery.
Can you imagine what they must be saying behind his poor tail down at thhe "yard"??

I did feel exactly the same way 30 years ago, I have taken 2 yearling deer in 35 years. Both with Archery gear, and many bucks, nice bucks, and 4 dry does.
After reading, and talking to biologists , killing a button buck is not a big deal, its a deer, and these deer if they make it through the winter , many do not if the herd gets to big for the area, or Coyotes tear 'em apart. Doe Buck ratio , correct numbers for the woodlot is a great thing, but sometimes a doe has 2 or even 3 fawns , of which 1 maybe 2 of 3 will make it. Shooting these animals is not as cruel as it looks on the surface. One has to understand nature , the good and bad parts.
I'm sure we are not all out to hunt down yearling deer, cause that monster ripping the bark off a softwood tree may step out and make your season.
Sometimes it don't work out that good, and if your out with a first time hunter, what better way to get 'em started.
I remember once when my son was 9 and his friend 10 , there we were the 2 dads with our sons on the hunt. My bud and I hauled out the doe, and the kids hauled out the yearling buck. A great day afield.
So to those that voted no, just remember its a deer, you got a tag, you decide what you want out of your hunt, and the coyotes will certainly back you up.
Not even gonna touch on road kill

Im not saying its cruel im saying its lazy or easy
I could take 50 guys out tomarrow morning and over the course of a day we could fill all the tags with deer like that
if you want meat go get a beef
if you want to hunt go get a real buck
just my opinion so what ever

just think how into hunting those kids would be if their first deer was a 140 deer

Nah! Little red clown noses with red LED's in them, are THE thing for roadkill.
