Yearling vs fawn

[BowSlayer]

I hear it all the time. Do people really think a fawn losing it's spots causes it to suddenly be a yearling? They are still fawns people...they just don't have spots any more.

I have always called this year's fawns (a deer younger than 1 year old) yearlings. A year older, I call them a 1.5 year old deer.

It has never even crossed my mind to call a little first horned 8 point a yearling.

I know I know..

We did have a Biologist years ago that would literally get angry if one of the guys called a fawn a yearling. He broke all of us from doing that so I notice it now and it's pretty common.

Hell we've always called any small in stature deer yearlings....never really saw any OCD need to differentiate. The term is received and understood



I don't give a **** what anybody calls it as long as they don't shoot it....

A deer is a fawn throughout its first year. Then a yearing. But who calls them that. Not me or anyone I know except biologists. Kinda like kill vs harvest.

Why would you care if someone else shoots one? Shoot every one you see...I literally could not care less. lol

You couldn't care less if your button bucks or yearling bucks were shot?

As our lease boss, I'm not a fan

I was with a guy that shot a button buck fawn once by mistake. That was the best I've ever eaten...by far.

Oh, gotcha. You only care if it's on your lease. Understood.

That should tell you how ridiculous the differentiation is then.



We don't have a January or Feb like you rich folks..

Never mind...I'm following.. Yes I was referring to my lease.

The Biologist that used to scold us for calling them yearlings said people called them that because it makes them feel better than saying they shot a doe with a fawn. He really did get triggered if someone said it. I think he had anger issues. LOL
