Default RE: Need thoughts on harvesting yearlings.

Well, first we have to get our nomenclature correct. These sound like FAWNs.... not yearlings as I know them. A yearling is a deer that was born LAST year and probably a year and a half old. Those fawns you' re eyeballing are 6 months old.... MAX. They found the gravey train. They' ll eat there everyday until life is made miserable for them or they find some munchies that taste better. My hunting buddy loves that young tender meat. I don' t like it....too mushy, nothing to them etc etc etc. I' d sooner wait and shoot their mother. Like someone else, I can' t do it either.
