Fawn. Yearlings are year old deer...IMO, a deer that had spots a week ago and doesn't now is still a fawn...

After the spots come off, we usually call them "This year's fawn." Yearling is one year old.

That is an interesting perspective... I think alot of people just call it what they were taught, kind of like a tradition if you will..

It's a Fawn, the next year it will be a Yearling.
