What is a button buck deer?

A "button buck" refers to a young male deer (buck) that has not yet grown its antlers.

Here's why it's called that:

* Antlers: Male deer grow antlers, which are bone structures that shed and regrow annually.

* Button Stage: In the early stages of antler development, they appear as small, hard, bony knobs called "buttons." These buttons are covered in a velvety skin called "velvet."

* "Button Buck": A "button buck" is a buck that is still in this early stage of antler growth and has only these small, bony buttons, not fully grown antlers.

Essentially, a button buck is a young male deer that hasn't quite reached maturity in terms of antler development.
