Why do we use .5 when aging deer?

What month was your young'un born?

Here's what we should call 'em, if we're gonna add fractions.....

Birthday month.... 2 yr old
next month.......... 2 1/12 yr old
next month.......... 2 1/6 yr old
next month.......... 2 1/4 yr old
next month.......... 2 1/3 yr old
next month.......... 2 5/12 yr old
next month.......... 2 1/2 yr old YAY!
next month.......... 2 7/12 yr old
next month.......... 2 2/3 yr old
next month.......... 2 3/4 yr old
next month.......... 2 5/6 yr old
next month.......... 2 11/12 yr old

This reminds me of when I was asking my wife what 2/3 + 2/3 was. The answers where gold.

Share some of what you got

Did he just get back from a " hunting trip" here in Colorado ? Might explain it

I go through the effort of adding a “1/2” so I don’t get lectured by people who think I don’t know that deer are born n the spring.

[Big pig]

Cause i usually think how old he will be when season is her

BTW. I’d give him another year!

Ask any mon how old her baby/toddler is and she will tell youth in months until he/she turns 2. Deer born in the spring are X1/2 years old during hunting season.
