if there was a 3point and "buttons" standing 300 yards apart which would you shoot?

'Buttons'. And then I'd take it to the F&W and get another tag for fear of 'buttons' having been given doped feed or antibiotics. I'd also fill out a complaint, bringing in the poster as evidence, and have the COs investigate this illegal treatment of wildlife.

If a button buck and a 3 point were standing together I'd shoot the button buck and then go find another another little deer and the two together would equal the amount of meat from one bigger deer but would be 2x as good.

Now, if it was 'buttons' and a 210" buck I'd whack that big one just so I could haul the mount around in a trailer and charge guys like you $50 a minute to go in there and cream your jeans (I'd donate the money to myself and laugh everytime my bank statement rolled in).

Point is, it should still be somewhat of a challange to harvest game.
A pet deer - one you could probably kill with a baseball bat - should be passed upon.

You say 'probably' - sounds like a challenge then! Post some pics of the next pet deer you get with a baseball bat...

Its about being decent and sporting and pets arent sporting

I bet that if you whacked the pet deer in the flank with the bat first it would get real sporting after that. Good luck trying to call 'em into the truck after ash meets ass.
 
1. he is TINY
2. he is someones pet (maybe alittle girl or boy)
3. another spiker isnt that hard to come by so go get a diffrent one if you must
4. if you want meat shoot a doe (theres tons of em)

1. So? Grouse are small too, so I just shoot lots of them.
2. Maybe the little boy or girl's parent has some explaining to do then. Maybe the kids should cry over having sorry-assed parents that got them a deer for a 'pet' instead of a milk cow. Besides, everything dies sometime.
3. A spiker is a spiker is a spiker. Why would I waste time beating around the bush?
4. But if I can shoot a little buck then that will be one less buck that will grow up for the outfitters to sell and the 'trophy' 'hunters' to kill.

BTW - why do you use 'he' when refering to this deer? Too much Disney? Use 'it' and show some repect for your fellow human beings!
 
Your all so cruel :D

Well the problem with that is , some idiot parent did not school their child on wild animals, and that they must not be considered pets. Its wrong for the child and certainly wrong for the animal that now has no fear of people, and could become a danger to motorists . I hope folks understand this :( Not to mention that after having human contact , it will be rejected by the doe, and now you have a yearling deer that will struggle through winter depending on what it incounters. And the kid is at home expecting to have a great summer ahead with its old friend Buttons. :rolleyes: Disney you suck! :(

You may well be right, concerning the concept of making a pet of a wild animal but that has been going on since the beginning of time. Probably the most well known is mans association that started with the wolf. I'm not question the ethics of making or not making a pet of a wild animal. What I am saying, to me anyway, is that shooting something that is obviously a pet, detracts from the defination of 'Sport Hunting' and the experience.

It certainly does, but someone has to take responsibility for the wrong doing, and if its a hunter, so be it. The idiot that let his child spend time taking away any chance of survival the animal had has most likely moved on to watching the golf channel. In my mind this is a shame. :(
 
There is no way I will shoot Buttons, he must live way to close to a reactor to have antlers like that! lol

When I was young I shot three bucks like that but anymore I just enjoy watching them pass by. There is only one way to shoot the big bucks.
Let the little ones grow!

If you're a meat hunter then fine. I prefer antler soup. Maybe that's why I am loosing weight.:rolleyes:

It's been decried by the wife that I may not keep trophies in our, ahem, her home. The antlers then are pretty much irrelevant. So provided I needed the meat, buttons the pet deer would have a new home in my freezer.
