Yearling definition

I was raised to refer to a fawn without spots as a yearling, but I found out (a little while back) that a yearling is old than one but younger than two. Did anyone else grown up with the wrong terminology?

I think just about all of us were raised using the wrong terminology. But you are correct, biologists refer to deer less than a year old as fawns and deer between 1 and 2 as yearlings.

Dat's a bit nit picky...
Spots=fawn
No spots and not mature(female)=yearling
No spots, not mature, little nubs(male)=button buck
etc.

Yearling for us was 1.5 yr old deer and younger. Fawn if it had spots.

Yeah, we've always called <1 yr olds but no spots yearlings.
We call females that are 1.5 yrs old maiden does even if it's post rut and they've been likely de-flowered by the Prince Andrew of the woods.
