Age my deer:
2018 Doe #3 (first saddle kill!). 116 lbs field dressed. Assumed she was 1.5
September hunt in NY and she was with a non-spotted fawn that didn't seem to care at all when mom went down. Again, I assumed she was the mom. Maybe not. Maybe mom was still bedded, or off in the distance, or already killed...so many unknowns. Easy to make mistaken assumptions.
