I personally wasn't trying to make a statement against shooting button bucks. I was more meaning from a biological/herd reduction standpoint. If in late antlerless a county had 50/50 bucks to does taken, then the remaining does kicked off fawns the following spring, you are at net zero. If some have twins, you still have grown the herd. So it maybe isn't the most effective way to reduce the herd, being that is the goal. The fact that it is so late increases the odds of a shed buck being taken. Distinguishing a button buck during any of the seasons can be difficult, and I certainly wouldn't fault anyone if they killed one for meat.
