I read something on this related to african game. The answere is no, deer don't feel pain the way we do. The reason for this is that we have a much more complex nervous system than we do. Our metabolisms or very different too. When some african tribes hunt small game, they use regular old darts or arrows. And they work fine. But if they are hunting monkeys, they have to use poison tipped arrows and darts because the monkey's nervous system is wired differently that other small game. A deer has thicker skin, more solid bone, and is more sturdy than a human frame is. It would only make sence that they would be a little tougher than we are too. Maybe we have an expert here that can elaborate on this more.
