Well - We could not tell it was a button until we flipped it over to dress. You can feel the nobs, but they are really small. It was 6:15 PM with plenty of light, and I was less than 20 feet away in the stand. My wife was bugging me to take a small one for a friend. Not sure what I can do except not take any small ones. I looked hard for nobs before I shot. I had already let several small ones walk, but I was 10 days in. It will be good meat, but I want to let the bucks grow up and compete!
