Smell...anyone who thinks different doesn't know what they are talking about.

Ditto!

I had 8 deer (all does) within 40 feet of me this past week (3 on the ground). They looked right at me and hung around until they ALL got down-wind of me. Then they were gone. One came in behind me and I just happened to be looking around to see her. Never heard a step. She got to about 20 feet from my tree, bent to sniff a footprint in the snow at least 2 days old, turned and walked away in the complete opposite direction. I never would have known she was there if I didn't see her.
