This has been an interesting discussion. Condescension is not interesting.
======================================== Don't give up yet. This is the time to shoot and not talk to the deer. You will learn. =======================================
The button buck was not legal that year during the antlered deer season. At that time the antlerless deer season was a separate season in PA.
Now it would be legal if I had drawn an antlerless deer permit for that game unit. For a variety of reasons, I would prefer a nice eating doe to a button buck full of hormones and additives after he had been chased through the woods.
