Running my Brittany in the ANF on friday he winded a fresh killed yearling, side was ripped open and completely gutted.
Returned next day put a camera on it thinking bear or yotes but didn't see any tracks, scat etc... check these pics out

Neat pictutres. Thanks for shring.
My taxidermist guy saves the carcasses from all the critters he skins out, then in the Winter he puts them out for the eagles. Last year he posted videos that actually had up to thirty eagles hitting the bait pile.

I saw an adult bald eagle on the side of the road on top of a road kill deer. I was able to stop with my truck 6 ft away and he did care one bit. Unfortunately I didn't have my phone with me to get a picture. I have never been that close to one that wasn't in captivity before.

This was early on a bear I shot, later there were 20-30 an awesome sight, like vultures on an african kill, but they were so spooky like turkey and were gone before I could get the camera going. I hid for 2 hours in the trees beyond them waiting to come back but they never did, every now and then one would pass over checking.

Haha... not my lead I'm to old to jeopardize my license for 5yrs. Best guess coyotes or bear the deer was a small yearling.

I know, that is why it is a fawn. A yearling is always between 1 and 2 years old, as in 1 year 3 months, 1 year 8 months, a yearling is always in the second year of life. Up to a year it is a fawn, 3 months, 8 months, etc. Just google yearling.

Fawns haven't been born yet. A yearling is last year's fawn and yes come this fall it would be 1.5 year's old.

What does it mean "Fawns haven't been born yet." They were born last May!!! Repeating my last post again, a fawn is from birth to one year old, there is no other definition. A yearling is ALWAYS 1 year to 2 years of age, it is just that way period. Do you see the last pic I posted? You simply won't find anything anywhere that contradicts these age classes. A simple search will unquestionably verify this (also in my previous post). From anything below is there any indication in any way shape or form that it is possible for a yearling to be under 1 year old? The deer in the OP post is not 1 year old yet, it is a fawn and definitely not a yearling.

Fawn: 0-1 year
Yearling: 1 year to 2 years
Adult or mature: 2+ years
