We'll there's no guarantee that that button buck was even going to stay on your place. And due to carrying capacity I don't think it's really detrimental if a few do get mistaken for does. The only way to ever truely to prevent BB from being killed is cease all doe killing but that's not practical on most places either.
I realize that and good point. Shoot his mama and maybe he will stay but BB roam. I am well aware of BB and the peer and mama pressure he receives.
So 257wbymag, should we just give up on reducing the number of BB's killed? Should we not attempt to educated hunters to not shoot the first deer in the field or to not shoot a lone deer (as Bham Fred suggested) as it's probably a BB?
I believe with education and discipline, you can reduce the number of BB killed. Not shooting deer under X lbs... and that's what I'm attempting to establish, will, I believe help in this.
Thanks for your input.
