They even have leafy camo in different patterns and colors
Iv'e said it before as it relates to other matters. A lot of the blame lies on the parents for not encouraging the younger generation and showing them what hunting is all about. My boys seemed a lot more interested when they were younger because they didn't have all the other distraction's as they do or did as a teenager. My oldest is in his late 20's now and has this year gotten back into it a little.
You reckon he’ll stand still long enough for me to shoot that apple off his head?
So, everybody you know still calls this year's fawn in the fall a yearling like everybody else does, unless you're around, because they know you'll go all professor and lecture them with Google info that contradicts common usage that people have said for a couple hundred years?
A fawn has spots. A yearling is a half-grown young of the year fawn in the fall after its spots are gone. According to almost everybody except Google. And Google has never been hunting. It's run by city slickers in California.
I'm just going by over half a century of life on earth, in which every single time I've ever heard someone refer to a "yearling," they were talking about a young of the YEAR.
...I believe it’s because no one wants to say “I shot a doe fawn this morning”. Yurlin sure sounds bigger and better...
Guess I’m the exception. A fawn is this years deer, a yearling is that same deer next season. If you have any management plans, you better keep the terms or meanings correct.

That's not healthy.That's funny. I was thinking about NCHillbilly while I was in the shower this morning and your exact thought came to mind.
