Bravo! I am very impressed with this video. The majority of deer hunters harvest does but online the only thing anyone seems to talk about is antlers. I haven’t yet found a good recipe for antlers.

Good info. In my experience, a lone doe in the woods is almost always a button buck. I’ve learned this the hard way and am much more inclined to wait for a second deer or pass a lone deer as it’s hard to tell the size of a deer by itself. All that being said, yearling deer are super tender, and that make for a easy drag…

Literally just shot a button today, it was low light and I thought it was a nice doe, feels kinda bad but I always remember a quick kill from an arrow is better than being eaten alive or starving to death

Post rut if it’s a single deer almost guaranteed it’s a button buck.

This is great info. The public land where I hunt do not allow the harvesting of anything with less than three points or a 12” inside spread.

Another Idea for a good informational video: Species and sex identification at longer ranges!… This is really needed now that long range shooting is so popular. I have found that at around 330yd and beyond it starts to get very difficult to identify with great certainty and is thus risky. Even with decent binoculars it takes waaaay more time and observation to confirm. Species, size, antlers… what gets super tricky at longer range is hunting does and determining if it’s a wee spiker. Those little spikes are darn hard to identify at distance and against a tree line… especially at lower light. I consider long range as past your MPBR or beyond 300yd.

A few good signs of an adult Vs a yearling is the head and face size. Yearlings snouts will be short and stubbby.

There is a problem with the recommendation of harvesting Does early season to tell a difference. Depending on the Doe heard size, harvesting a couple of Does early season and you will not see the Bucks during the Rut as they've moved on. Does = #1 attractor of Bucks in the rut.

This is false. Bucks don't "move on" somewhere else. They have a home range they are loyal to for survival reasons. Balancing the buck:doe ratio before the rut actually makes bucks more visible to hunters, because they must compete with other bucks for a limited number of estrous does. When does outnumber bucks, bucks don't have to move as much to find them.

That is why I mentioned "depending on the doe heard size. I have witnessed the disappearance of bucks with a limited number of does and then a few were taken early. The mature Bucks simply didn't stick around. They may have returned to their home range, but during hunting season when rut was in, they went after the does. @@DeerAssociation

12:12...That's not an adult doe....It's a tweener between fawn and adult..perhaps a teenager. The back one in 13:45 looks identical to this one and you called it a fawn...

Hey great presentation! One quick ID point for me after 46 years of deer hunting is the size and shape of the Brisket. Wether the deer are together or by themselves paying attention to the size and shape of the brisket is a great point of reference. Younger deer it much less developed and noticeable, older mature deer much larger and squared off so to speak. Happy Hunting!

Thank you! New to hunting, well first time since with my grandfather as a little kid.... and going this weekend. Would the doe at 14:30 be an example of what you're pointing out here? Looks really large down low.

Yep , the 14:52 mark is a pretty good view of the brisket head on, you can see it hanging down, also a broadside view on deer will reveal how deep the brisket hangs. I hope you have much success success in the field!

Just a joke but you're right,! Only question can be button bucks, the stupidest deer in the woods, has the big boxy flat top head you can't miss. The way they act though is usually as much a tell as head shape. Does are naturally more wary. Other than that, size is obvious without all the minutia of body parts. Yearlings eat up, but not much yield. Year & a half doe is the best eating hands down...2 1/2 yr. is close & yield goes up in those first years. Eating a year & a half 4 point right now. Very tender. Any big buck is grind, backstrap & slow cook roasts. I have all the horns laying around I want, I see a 6 pt & a doe, comparable size, and I have a permit, doe is down, end of story maybe get a poke at the buck running off. I really love still hunting, you do get runnings shots and I'm pretty lucky on those. Yup I'm a good shot, but nothing certain about a running shot, so I take those only when the conditions are right. Fortunate to hunt on a 351 acre plot, crops, ridges, swamps, woods, meadows - all transition zones, so I have shot a LOT of deer in 60 years of hunting, all modes. The farmer gets block permits & loses 10-15% of crops every year so wants the group of us to take out as many as possible & it's still not enough to satisfy him! (We oblige...his rules.). : D. It's in Barry County, MI, so one of those Valhalla spots of white tails. Best year I got 5, my son 8. We gave the last one away but yup, ate the rest.

Loved this video! I'm going to try out my first ever deer hunt this year with my best-friend, who is also new to hunting. Learning these characteristics and the physics of these types of white-tail deer is going to help us a lot on tagging the proper deer.
