The yearling in the 1939 Pulitzer winner "The Yearling," e.g. (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deer

(Other definitions for deer that I've seen before include "Hoofed grazing animal" , "Eg, stag or doe" , "See 23" , "Hoofed animals" , "Wild animal" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
