prov1900 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 First two are yearlings and the last two are year and a halfers? At least by Nebraska standards. You have some nice deer coming your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotwieler Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I think the first three will be 1 1/2 yrs this fall, and last one 2 1/2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roofer Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Fawn is a fawn and a yearling is 1 1/2 years old. First 3 are yearlings with the third being an early birth and the fourth is 2 1/2.Nice pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slabchaser Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I agree with prov none of these deer are older than year and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrophyEyes Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 The last one is 2 1/2. The others are 1 1/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyDawg Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I would say they are all year and halfers. When you look at the body, there are no appreciable differences. I would say that the last deer has good potential as he is sporting a decent rack for 1.5 years, but I dont think he is 2.5 due to body size/configuration and rack.

tednugefan Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 i would say the last one is 2.5 and the first ones are 1.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBo Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 The last one is older than the first two. Look at his front shoulders, they are bigger than his hind quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walleyecaber Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I would say they all would be in the year and a half range with the last maybe 2 years at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerchJerker Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 First three will be 1.5 year olds this fall, last one will be 2.5 years old this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANYFISH Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 1-3 I would say are year and a half, #4 could go either way but looks to be two and a half at the oldest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlm Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Without a doubt, 1.5 year old deer!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear55 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I agree with most here, the first three are 1.5's and that last one is a 2.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimngrizzly Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Theyre all 1 1/2 year olds. The last one was probably born in May when it was supposed to be... the others were late born fawns to late bred mothers and are just a few monthes behing in development. In another year they will most likely all be equals.... the last one may have a little more potential. But any 2 1/2 in Minnesota should be looking better than that.A good crop to look for in upcoming years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tednugefan Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 without a doubt the last one is older. like DonBo said his front shoulders are bigger than his hind quarters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbucks Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 The last one sure looks like a 2 1/2 year-old to me. He's enough bigger & his rack's started to widen out like they usually do as a two year-old. He could have been a later fawn from two years ago possibly.I agree the others are different ages of yearlings, their body size could even depend on if they were a single fawn vs. a twin or triplet.

Rotwieler Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 i say the first three are 1.5. and the last one is a 2.5 because his bases are thicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Christianson Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 First 3 are 1.5, last probably 2.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
