As usual, context is key.

I would not think "young" unless context made it clear that we were discussing the ages of animals.

Perhaps hunting season is upon us, and the prey have to be a certain age in order for us to kill them.

{loDHom} does mean "boy" afterall. Is a boy a small man, a young man, a lesser man?

What about a midget? Is a midget not a {loDHom}?

I could also see two people camping, one of them is new to camping.

They hear a rustling in the brush, and the camper who knows the area informs the newcomer that it's a {Ha'DIbaHHom}, and not to worry about it.
