Punched antlerless tag #4 on a button buck tonight for the management group. Saw 10 deer tonight and this guy was the only one that offered a slam dunk shot.

Just asking out of curiosity and not judgment (promise!) . . .
 
Your history on here makes me think you wouldn't shoot a BB under normal circumstances, and I know you've clarified this was part of the management hunt you're part of in a very controlled environment.  
 
Is part of the design of this management hunt to shoot any/all antlerless deer you have an opportunity to harvest, regardless of whether they're BB's or does?  Or did you get fooled like I have a few times shooting a solitary deer you thought was a younger doe?

Normally I pass fawns if I know they are fawns. When hunting on the managements properties, the goal is to remove deer. Preferably does or female fawns but BB's and bucks eat shrubs and get hit by cars too. So ultimately, they would rather the tags get filled with any deer instead of going unfilled. I passed up fawns earlier in the season but now that it is late season, I am trying to fill the rest of my tags. 

Spent 7 hours in a tree yesterday and for my efforts I drew a blank in the morning and a blank in the evening. It was brutal for sure with stiff west winds at 15-20 and 18 degrees. Tons of tracks around my stand in the fresh snow but they were all from the night before after dark.

Appreciate the explanation. Makes sense.

I personally couldn’t care less what people shoot as long as they have the tags for it. Was just curious given your history of shooting mature bucks and does on here.
