5 year old buck +
Fawns are not born in my area till often August or September, so the 1.5 age thing isn’t exactly right. A Yearling is often only right at 1 year old.
Do you think these two deer are yearlings or 2 year olds? They have slim bellies, and antlers do not extend anteriorly to nose or past. Their necks are swelling pre rut, but they are still traveling together.
