Is it just a generic sporting button ya think?

I'd guess a sporting button from mid to late 1700s , that's strictly a guess

Really cool button. Wonder if that is supposed to be the tree of life?

Most definitely depicting riding to hounds. I've been fortunate enough to do that a couple of times. The dress code is very formal, and buttons could easily be lost. That's a nice find. The hounds look strangely like poodles though.

If you look on the button Top Left next to the E you will see the FOX much different then the hounds
