OK, we all like to see pictures of the "Big Boys", but I want to see the pictures of the smallest buck everyone has killed (button bucks don't count). I am sure all of the little ones were "culled" for the health of the herd, at least that's what I tell people when they give me a hard time. We may not be to proud of them, but they sure do taste good. Here is the smallest one I have taken. I call it the Keychain buck. The "big" side is 2 1/2" long. I took it about 6 years ago. I dropped it at the base of the tree I was in. I had my 4 year old son "find" it for me. When he walked up to it, he took one look at it and said "That sure is a little one Daddy"   OK, who's next? |

That is cute. At 2-1/2 does it qualify as a buck for your own contest? ;D My son's first buck may get the prize for this year though. About 6" & 3.5"  |

Think I may have you all beat.... I'll have to see if I've got pics somewhere, but two seasons ago I shot a 1 1/2 year-old on opening day of firearms... Neither antler measured any more than 1 1/2". It was NOT a button buck- the antler bases were fully formed, hard bone. He had obviously been rubbing hard on trees, but no idea how long the antlers had been originally- they were worn down to that length!
Next time I'm on our desktop I'll see if I've got a picture there.

Think I may have you all beat.... Yep, gotcha beat. ;D This is from opening day of firearms in '06. Shot it thinking it was a doe.  As I recall, each antler (if you can call them that) just *barely* made the minimum 1" requirement for the contest on here!   |

That's quite a whopper! He must have been doing some serious rubbing to grind them down that little.....
On a side note, my brother-in-law just found a matching set of sheds in my side yard, no more than 30 steps from my house. Total of 8 points. I'll try to post some pic's soon.
