Re: True or False?
You're correct. It's not really a matter of "opinion". It just IS.
But, after deer season, I can't think of any reason to identify them as either fawn or yearling. So, for all intents and purposes......once a fawn lives through deer season....he/she's a yearling as far as I'm concerned. It will be when hunting season comes around.

this is why I understand it but here so many guys call fawns yearlings all the time, like they think a fawn is only a deer with spots, my dad does this all the time, wiki says fawn til year, then yearling for a year.

Re: True or False?
I have always called a 1 1/2 year old deer a yearling and of course a deer born this year a fawn until next season then it will be a yearling as well.

Re: True or False?
The confusion is all in the timing. We hunt in the fall not the spring. A 1/2 year old is a fawn and a 1 1/2 year old is a yearling.
Eithor way I consider them both yummy!

This one, although I guess I don't use the term yearling all that often.

Re: True or False?
Spots = fawn (IMO)

Re: True or False?
1st set of hard horns is a yearling.
Button Bucks are fawns that just lost there spots.
We use the term "yearling" on the small does (not fawns but smaller than momma) mostly.
"This morning a saw a big doe, 2 yearlings, a fork horn and 1 button buck." for example.
I marked TRUE.

Re: True or False?
True, and that is how i have refered to them for many years now. maybe it's because of all the shows I used to wacth on TV, but I had a hard time not calling a small deer that wasn't 55lbs something other than a fawn. IMO.
It's not a problem, it's a opportunity for a solution.

Re: True or False?
Definition: A horse or pony of either sex that is under one year of age.
Since I am the Fawnmaster, a yearling is technically by definition under one year old. And that is exactly what I refer to as a yearling. A fawn has spots like the one in my avitar. I like those because I can pick a spot to shoot at.

Here's a definition I found online:
YearlingFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search
Look up yearling in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Yearling may refer to:
Yearling (biology, zoology), an animal in its second year of life.
Yearling (horse), a horse between one and two years of age.
in titles or proper names:
A buck will see you three times, and hear you twice, but he's only gonna smell you once.
