Texas deer...

Don't know what they call them where I live, but where I hunt them most call them yearlings - I call them "good eats".

Tender Vittles.......................................

You beat me to it.

Grampa always wants to call them "camp meat".

+1 Carry out in one hand. Delicious

Less than 1-1/2, Bambi or a dog, as in, "Looks like you shot someone's dog." Best said with a grin, like "Oops!" After that age, mighty tasty and tender. "Good eatin' size."

I don't know what other people around here call them, but I call them squeakers.

good eating

doggy

Ps you bring one in around here and all your hunting buddies will start barking!

It's more fun to talk about how you taunt your buddy that shot him!

Dinks or Bambi get tossed about here.

Blamby

Eatin size deer.

You bring up an interesting point. I'm going to risk sounding like a regional snob, but here in the Ohio Valley I have not heard such a word. For large deer, I have heard "monster", "hog", "bruiser". However, the antithesis is nameless.

"Dink" comes about as close as it gets in my mind, but that's a word I heard online. I've been hunting up and down the Ohio River with Cincinnati as a center for over a quarter century. Now that you mention it, I never heard anyone use that term or any other.

That is not to say that I have not seen small deer. They have all been fairly young, but all had lost their spots. The smallest was a doe that probably went about 40 lbs that I passed on back in 1996. She looked about the size of a boxer. The smallest I shot was a doe back in 2002. She was so small that the processor knocked $10 off the bill.

140 class

Little deer.

babies

Fryin' size

pepperoni deer

Rabbits - as in "Hey, looks like you've been rabbit hunting." - Usually followed by snickers.

A sammich

Dogs or fawns.

Of course, a Minnesota dog is a Texas bruiser.

Bout 6 or 7 years ago a buddy of mine said, "he's still got milk on his lips!"

Everyone laughed. I don't know where he got it but that one kinda stuck, gets used a lot around here.

I told a buddy that shot a little doe couple years back to carve out the backstraps and I'd get a couple hotdog buns. That one has kinda stuck, too.

I started calling spike bucks a "one x one" some years back. For really small ones that evolved into 'nub x nub". I even measured a nub x nub once for a buddy on an official score sheet. He wasn't impressed, which of course was the point to begin with

dinks

A bite to eat.
My wife said I brought Bambi home one time but I don't think so, I'm still married and Bambi is always protrayed with long blond hair and a nice rack...........

Crockpot deer.

Mike

Im in Texas, we call it normal...... hahaha Bottom line though, we have what we have and you have what you have. I've shot em here live weight from 45 pounds to 238 pounds. Good enough for me. THe 300 plus pounders would loose some weight during the summer here.

We've actually used the suitcase term a lot and the wipe the milk off its lips a lot.

puppy

rabbits

Fawn

Dink.

Dink.....knocked the spots off did yah?.....it still has milk on its lips!..........that sorta thing.....unless your my wife you tend not to intentionally shoot them but given the F&G will let yah buy up to 6 or 7 doe tags its hardly hurting the population any.....when there is a lone one to stupid to run, the wife likes to think she is doing it a favor by not letting the 'yotes get it.....instead she eats it......

Micro Spike, Spike, Dink, Meat Buck. In that order..

pencil neck

Towheads, but that's probably just our hunting group. Also called 'em suitcase deer as well.

Yup- Suitcase deer. Tie their feet together and carry them out.

In North-Eastern Wisco we call 'em dogs.
If it's smaller than a Lab, let it live.
/my rule of thumb. YMMV, and that's fine, too.

Bambi, someone's dog. Last year my buddy shot a fawn the first day of archery in Maryland. It was so small he threw it on his shoulder and carried it out.

Lost.

No deer on the KP.

In Interior Alaska we call those "elk".

Muntjac!!

Crock pot deer.......

I'm with JOG, I call 'em dogs.

Walking backstrap. (The whole thing)

Bambi in the crosshairs.

Wow! Nobody else calls them skippers? I'm kind of amazed. I didn't even get a "handbag" for a teeny one. That's when you tie the hooves together and just sling it over your shoulder to carry it out. I was going to ask what you call a cold cut sandwich on a torpedo roll (grinder) or a milk shake with ice cream (cabinet).

My son calls them "Pimp-squeakers"...

Dinks.

Chihuahua for me.

My neighbors call it "The Weasel", or "your Wiener Dog"

Suitcase deer here as well. I am kind of surprised at how common this term is turning out to be, across several different regions, no less. Nothing wrong with suitcase deer. They are just the ticket when the freezer is low on meat and you're a long hike away from the truck. Some of ours deserve the moniker, not because you can carry 'em like a suitcase, but because they can actually fit in a suitcase. Smallest one I've ever seen was killed by a young man in the youth season this year. It weighed 26 pounds field dressed, and it did not have any spots.

Biglmbass nailed it Crockpot deer must be a 'Bama thing,but i tell y'all with taters and a coupla hours love in the pot it's mighty fine eatin'.Several years back met a young man who had taken a 57lb doe for his first one across from him was 2 yahoos with a 142b&C with 11 bullet holes in him cause"you gotta put lead in the air for them Trophys." the doe had one .257 Roberts hole in her heart and a happy kid.I Reckon you can have Trophy does and worthless bucks.i know if those 2 yahoos represent the hornporn killit if only it's 143.75 or better crowd i don't want nothing to do with'em.

Little nipper

Doris the doe (if they wonder around lost)
