Can We Drop The .5 From Deer Aging?

[Shinesintx]

I’m so close to being 588 months old. I’m about 1.5 months from hitting it.

I got 99.5 problems but griping about aging deer ain't one.....err 1.5..

[AntlersBoy]

You are aware these deer are typically born from May to July.....so someone saying a deer is 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, or 4.5 during the summer doesn’t know much about deer.

Depends on latitude just north of you our deer are hitting ground April/May most deer have a 200 day poke/dump. Pretty easy math, deer season hits on half’s. I guess I could get behind the OCD half thing but... it’s always been there. Just go with it Darts

My Half Birthday is coming up. I could use a new knife.....

Oh man, do I round up or down on my late December kills?

won't happen....makes people seem more like an "expert" when they guess

I do not know what you people are talking about. The lease I have been on for the last 12 years does not have a buck on it over 4.5 errr 4 years old. I know this because our expert lease member with a degree from Texas A&M in wildlife biology class of 1980 (who owns a BBQ joint and has never held a job as a biologist) told me so.

I am 63 and a half years old. Is that mature or post mature?

Same here. 63.66 though

I'm with you on this, the only .5 year I am interested in now is 59.5 so I can retire.

I stopped using the .5 a long time ago.



But if we are gonna gripe a little, if guys could stop with the "he's either 3 or 3.5"...or "He looks 5 or 5.5 to me"...that would be cool.

That just went over a whole bunch of folks heads. Drives me crazy.

My experience is they are very tender at .5 yrs old. Yum.

I posed this very question last year. Got mostly the same answers.

Valid point
