Default RE: Keeping things in perspective.

I bet there are a lot of folks rigt now that arepretty excited about having a guy that will shoot a yearling on their TEAM! [8D][&:]
Id take the guy that shot the yearling and was happy about it.....over the guy shooting 140"ers and belittling others. I know that.

A yearling is a deer that was born this year.
It's my understanding that a "yearling" was born last year. A deer born this year is a fawn.

Here's what dictionary.com says :

year·ling /ˈyɪərlɪŋ/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[yeer-ling] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun



1.

2.

3.
being a year old.



4.
