I think he was referring to the age of the deer... not sure what you'd call fawn meat?
Congratulations!! Not only on a successful end to your year, but for getting your son involved. I know EXACTLY what you mean about the little guy being unhappy at having to leave her behind at the processor; last year at 2 1/2 years old as well, my little guy was about ready to tear the Jeep apart to get back to her as we were driving off...
We can only hope that's a prelude to a lifetime love of the outdoors!
