    You needed a None of the Above because none of your answers are correct...

    A yearling can be a buck or doe that was born the previous year...

    Around here a fawn has spots. A small deer without spots is a small deer. A yearling is a deer around a year old. It may be younger, it may be older.

    This was actually discussed at the Southeastern Deer Study Group annual meeting!

    The results:

    Fawn - birth to 1 ( it is a fawn)

    Yearling - 1 to 2 (This is an imature deer)

    Adult - 2 plus ( mature deer)

    Either sex

    Records are kept on all 3 categories in most cases!

    Write it down - we agree on something.

    I've always called a 1½ year old deer a "yearling". This year's deer is a fawn. Yearling bucks usually stay with their momma until the fall rut.

    The best piece of deer hunting/yearling advice i ever got... If you see an average size SOLO slickhead DON'T SHOOT-- better than average chances it is a button buck that got run off.

    I agree on the yearling being last years deer- although having newborn fawns in late Feb and deer still wearing spots the last day of deer season it ain't always easy to tell if a deer is this years or last...

    Been around da timber bidness all my life. Don't ever remember hearing too much about log decks or log docks - but have heard a whole lot about "loadin' docks". We always turn 'em into food plots.

    Worst mistake I've every made hunting was to shoot a 10-point yearling (year-and-a-half old). I can only imagine how he would have looked at 4½ years old.
