Had the chance to take a button buck (thought it was a doe, late in the evening two nights ago) of about 90 lbs.
I spent money on a good bino, instead of button buck fines at my camp.
I know this was in jest, but I can assure you that where I was hunting it was a legal deer. Binos wouldn't have helped either, this deer was the furriest thing I've ever shot. He looked like a fuzzball. I don't know if it's the power lines running over our place or what, but his hair was very, er, fluffy. His little stubs didn't provide enough definition on his hairy head. I recently bought some Minox binos from camera land, which I used to view him before I shot him at 30 or so yards and could not tell.
We didn't notice it was a button buck until after we had tagged him, dragged him 150 yards, turned the truck lights on him and flipped him over to field dress him.
