took a while but finally got a picture. Not a great one though. The deer in the back is the button buck. Two feet in front of him is a doe fawn.

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 .

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
