So that begs the question say you own 80 acres, based on this study shooting a button buck should have absolutely no effect on your herd size like shooting a doe or future bucks living on your property as he will move most times at least a mile away correct?

Low deer density areas buttons are the only deer you should shoot. But don't tell anybody else. |

I've been watching a young buck most of the summer. He almost always is hanging out with a doe and fawn(s). Seems a bit odd, makes me wonder if he's one that his mama couldn't chase far enough away?

That's an interesting study. One year a doe had twin buck fawns on our property , she died, I can't remember if she was shot or what, but the twins hung around for three years. My buddy missed one of the bucks at 10 yds with his bow😖Nice racks (similar in size)
Then never saw either again.

Every doe I've seen in my area has had it's fawns with it all the way through rifle. The does that didn't have fawns were with does that did. Zero rut activity. |

The lone buck on my property this year is a spike. He was hanging with his mom and sister earlier in the spring but, has slowly turned into a loner. As tge summer progressed and is turning more nocturnal. His mom and twin sister are still around and I have plenty of daylight photos.
