Congrats on the deer.
The best way to keep from shooting buttons is to not draw back on small bodied deer.
It's hard to do and I still screw up from time to time.
If, and that's a big if sometimes, you have a chance to really get a good look at the deer before you get a shot, inspect him with binoculars, look at his head shape (buttons tend to have a shorter snout and just look young in the face) and see how dumb he appears. I've killed a few buttons, and all of them have just been completely oblivious to everything going on around them.
