Yearling vs fawn

[Bowhuntinonly]

I grew up calling them yerlings but when i started bow hunting i switched over to proper name of fawns.

Shoot all the yearling does you want. Just no yearling button bucks.

I’ve never even once heard that said.



A fawn is in its first year of life. A yearling is over one year and under two years old.

Agreed here. Fawns have heads that look like calves and are generally 50-70 lbs. Yearlings, even does, will look like an actual deer even though they will be skinny, and pushing 100 lbs minimum.

On my lease,a deer without spots is in danger, no matter what you call it. Wish it wasn't that way, but it's the price I pay to have an inexpensive lease within 10 minutes of the house.

They need to start calling both of them… Young deer that have not yet reached maturity.

Settled!!

Our Biologist would literally get angry if someone said doe with yearling. We used to take turns saying yearling when he visited. Lol

Just want to be clear i wasn't being a smart ***, it was a legit question. I ran a lease for 4 years and would continually have to remind members that all deer without spots or horns were not does. Half way through first year our buck to doe ratio was 1 to 10 and we had a zero fawn rate.
