Not saying its the right way or the wrong way, its just that old timers did it and have passsed it on to the younger generation, as I will with my kids.



Why not break the cycle and teach them the CORRECT definition? :D

Why change why does it have to be so politically correct.

I agree with most here. IMHO, a yearling is a 1.5. I would call it a fawn.

A yearling has a winter under it's belt (if it had a belt)

Obviously you can do whatever you want, but calling a fawn a fawn is not polically correct it is just correct. Obviously it isn't going to change the rotation of the earth, whatever anyone calls them;)

We call young deer without spots yearlings,just the way it is in m neck of the woods,if it's wrong then I'm wrong don't relly give a crap what anyone else says,just like some people in some states call the evening hunt last nidght,the first time I heard this on a hunting show I said what the hell,did he just say we saw this deer last night just couldn't get a shot,I thought damn them boys are hunting at night ain't that illegal? wE ALWAYS SAY YESTERDAY EVENING.

I call it a fawn until next year when it becomes a yearling and I call it a young doe or meat.[8D]
