RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?
 

well whatever the dictionary says, im still going with my deffinition of fawn;)

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?
 

A buddy of mine raises deer. It seems like he mentioned having 150" 1.5 year olds.

I call fawns yearlings and 1.5 year olds 1.5 year old. I also call lunch dinner and dinner supper.:)

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?
 

let the battle of interpretation begin[8D]

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?
 

It's only a "battle of interpretation" if you assume that a buck can also mean a female deer in certain vernacular.

A "yearling" IS a deer that is in it's second year.....or was born in the previous year. It's really not prudent to argue otherwise.

A "fawn" IS a deer in its first year......a deer bor nTHIS year.

Iassumed this was common knowledge.

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?
 

honestly, ive never heard a deer born in this year referred to as a fawn around where i live

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?
 

Fair enough, xx......but that don't make it so.

Look up "fawn" in the dictionary.

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?
 

i know that doesnt make it so, im just sayin what i hear them reffered to. im not gonna stop reffering to them as yearling because of this post, and im sure your not gonna start reffering to them as yearlings because of this post. i dont have a dictionary handy though, is yearling in there;)

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?
 

Already posted the definition from the dictionary.

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?
 

An animal in it's second year would be referred to as a year-and-a-halfling. 3rd year = 2-year-and-a-halfling, ect.[:-]

A deer at exactly 1 year old is a yearling or else he is older than 1 year. Simple math.;)

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?
 

We hunt wild deer, and have taken 1-1/2 year olds by accident with very big racks for the age and size. 14 point, 10 point, and a couple of 8's that I aged as first rack. biggest was the 10, about 125 inches. Young deer with good genetics can definatelyhave good head-gear, I have noticedover the years, that the pedical is small and racks have been spindly on the young ones.Hunting in Missouri.

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?
 

my bad then sir, i was a little late:)

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?
 

We found one dead last year that scored 156 and thought it was a yearling but after further examination of its teeth turned out to be a 2 1/2 lacking any sort of mass. It's masses were all around 3 while its G1s and G2s pushed 12 inches amazing speciman.

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?
 

HGH...haha!!

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?
 

Jeff, did he have pics of the deer? Thats hard to imagine. 180" at 1.5.....thats 10 inches of antler for every month its been alive.

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?
 

He said they had two of them.....and one died.

I'm angling for a shed or two just to have around. I want one to dislay my Bloodrock Dan made for me. I'm gonna pick his brain some more, tomorrow. I don't know any of this stuff.....but I've seen the promotional DVD for this operation. They have pen-raised deer.......farm-raised deer......breeder deer......and a HF operation. They do concrete work as a sideline.....which is how I know them.

Nice people......and they make a good living at it. Their concrete business is their side business......and I have about $.4M worth of work with them at the moment.;)

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?
 

i can get that cheap enough from all the big name baseball guys now;)

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?
 

do u ask questions to start arguments?????

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?
 

Nope. But when someone reads the question and interjects that a yearling isn't adeer in its second year......it really goes against finding the answer to the original question, now, doesn't it?

I mean....a yearling is a yearling....and it isn't up for interpretation. A buck is a buck. Period.

I guess we could just ask questions like......

"Is a buck a male deer"?......and when someone answers "no"....we could just take their word for it. Seems logical, huh?

RE: The biggest yearling you've ever heard of?
 

I posted this pic a couple years ago... but this is the biggest yearling I've ever seen. He scored just over 150 as a yearling.
