36 years of hunting. Never saw a button buck this size. He's bullying 1 1/2 year old 7 points. My guess is he'd dress out at a little over a 100 lbs. Just looking for opinions. Is he a massive fawn from an early spring birth? Or A late born fawn last year that isn't growing antlers like he should?
Huge button buck

Yep, it was not a button though. It was a 2.5 year old that was busted off at the bases.

I've seen countless number of button heads over the years and have never witnessed what your seeing?....I've seen a few get cocky and try to act billy bad but they quickly get put back in their place...lol....not sure what's going on with what your seeing? Interesting....
If he's a yearling or older, he'd have antlers. Being a button is singularly indicative of a fawn. The only other explanation would be a medical anomaly that I'm unaware of.
Just like kids, some are huge, and sometimes those bruiser kids throw their weight around.

killed a 74 lb dressed button once
For some reason I am not seeing the pics.
Did take pictures. I was surrounded by deer.
Your scent control and your ability to blend in must be amazing. To be 5 steps from this deer and surrounded by others. Congratulations on your abilities....

He said it was at the bank. Urban deer used to seeing people in a parking lot is my guess
That makes sense. The Citibank sentence did not register with me. Thanks.
It doesn't hurt to be up in a tree

Indeed. Was this deer at the bank? If so do you normally climb trees at the bank?
Killed a button opening day of 1999 in giles county. Gw at AJ's weighed it at 115 pounds dressed.
Seen one once bow hunting in Giles Co. . Been seeing a big spike but didn't want to spend a tag on a spike . Last day hunting here come the spike again with a buddy . Couldn't put any type of horn on him and he was bigger than the spike.... button I can shoot him and tag as antlerless . Bad thing was that's when I first started having shoulder troubles and I had waited so log to see what this dude was he was right under me .For the life of me I couldn't get my bow pulled back , during all the grunting they spooked . Thing was the spike returned off the main trail on a secondary trail about 45 or so yards off the top . Out of frustration my thoughts was I'm going to shoot this thing . No problem pulling bow back and put second pin and aimed a tad high bam right through the heart . Spike must have been destained to die is all I could figure but that was a huge button .
Plan on letting him walk? You hunting at the bank?

We have tons of those in South MS... but they are not fawns, just bucks born in late Oct and Nov last year. I still have a ton of spotted fawns right now on camera. They are usually 70 to 90lbs, and have antlers that just barely break the skin. So they aren't 1.5 yos, they are actually 1 yos. And very vulnerable to getting shot as does
