In the counties I hunt in you can use an antlerless or buck tag on a doe/antlerless deer, I would assume he is fine.
By the letter of the law the "Most correct" way would be to use an antlerless tag. I can fill all 5 of my tags with does though and be legal.

I think yall are all right, and all wrong. The definition we need is that of nubbin (or button).
If the button, or nubbin protrudes through the skin, and is hard, it is a BUCK. (so is the female 12 point, still a buck).
If the buttons or nubs do not protrude, or are soft, then it is antlerless.

I always skin and quarter my deer and throw the meat in an ice chest. I tag the ear or antler and throw the head in the bed of my truck. I have been doing this for years and never had a problem. GWs use to set up on 220 north of Hico on busy weekends but it has been quite a while since I have seen one. Once a friend skinned a turkey and kept the whole skin and tail. GW said what the heck is that? The guy told him he was doing a version of the tail fan using the back feathers. GW just kind of geve him that whatever look.

I had emailed TPWD earlier in this thread before people believed what I was saying.....here is the response even though it seems to have cleared up. I have a question regarding tagging a "nubbing buck" or male deer that doesn't have antlers protruding through the skin. Is it correct that no matter the sex of a deer, a deer with no antlers protruding through the skin would be tagged as an antlerless deer? Thanks, Rex Their response: Yes, if the deer has no hardened antler protruding through the skin, it is to be tagged as an antlerless deer.

settles that. my question would be, if hunter tagged it as a buck, would he still give him a ticket for tagging it a buck? tis hunters tag, not GW. still think hunter did okay

Either one of those tags wouldn't matter. It's what the hunter logs in on the back of his license. That is where he could get ticketed if checked by a GW while in possession of said deer. And if hunter uses the "Buck or Antlerless" tag on said deer and never gets checked, all he done was use a buck tag that he really didn't need to burn, especially if he hunts where he can kill up to 3 bucks.
