If it was a button buck it was a fawn from this year.

If it was a button, yes 6-8 months.  I have never heard of a 90-100 lb. button however.  Usually they are smaller than that.   Sounds like if it had bloody antler bases, and no antlers,  it might have been a small 1.5 year old buck that had already shed it's antlers.  Did it actually have buttons or no?
