The half comes in because the deer gestation period is approximately 6 months. Most deer IMO drop their fawns from July to September so you are correct when a guess is made on a deer age this time of year but if its the first of the year it'd be safe to apply the half.

Fawns drop down here in early May is the .5 would apply here. At the camp in Monroe co they drop in August so I think it would not apply.

I agree, it bugs me to hear the "1/2" age no matter what time. We don't talk about humans or any other thing in that way, so why deer? They're just a whole age to me. "That's a 4 year old", for example. But usually it's "Oh crap, that one's big!"

I'll admit that is a little petty, but when a picture is posted about age and comments are made it's 90% of the time xxx 1/2 years old. No matter what time of the year. For example, Here in Alabama fawns, for the most part have just dropped or only a few weeks old. So a buck pic of a 4 year old deer taken Sept 10 cannot be 4.5 years old. And that that same buck cannot be 4.5 years old in Feb. Right? Buck I killed last year was 4 years 5 months 21 days 3 hours old. I could tell by checking the rings on his umbilical cord.

That would be about 4.484 or 4 31/64 YO.

I use whole number ages. That half year crap is ridiculous. You don't tell the Dr your half year ages or the license department or anyone else do you?

Just think your confusion is exactly the same for everyone else in the country when we tell them the rut is in February... Alabama is in a world of its own... Tell them the rut can be anywhere from Thanksgiving till mid-February depending on location.
