RE: HOW SMART ARE DEER?
They are smart, it has often been stated that the last remaining animals on earth would be Whitetail deer and wolf. One reason is smart, the other is adaptability. This what they did to you adapted to your pressure and movement then moved where you least expect them to be. I have countless stories I could tell how a deer we had pegged did the old vanishing trick when season rolled around. Like my good buddy and outfitter says they make one mistake in a lifetime, the trick is to be their when it happens and always be ready cause it will happen when you least expect it! They don't get big by being stupid!
