If it is of no concern to you,why do you feel the need to correct someone who like me has grown up calling deer with spots fawns and when they lose their spots yearlings.It is no different than some people saying they killed a deer last night when clearly they arn't hunting at night ,but hunting the evening.It is just what people are used to from their upbringing.
It IS of no concern to me what you call them. I pointed out that I clarify the terminology ONLY for reference.....because the wildlife biologist I cited referred to them as "fawns" (properly).
I actually DON'T care what you call them....one bit.
You must care since you felt the need to correct someone,I think we all know the difference between a fawn and yearling,but that was not the subject of the post,but as always you seem to turn someone else'e post into something else entirely rather than answer the question which was asked.
