I can't agree more. You go out into the wild, where our quarry lives. A place where evolution has created creatures that have learned to survive. Lets face it, in nature stupid animals don't usually live long enough to pollute the gene pool. The smart ones that live are the ones who procreate and pass their genes to following generations. They might not have the best eyesight, but it's not bad either. They just can't distinguish certain colors like blaze orange. Deer have ears which are shaped like parabolic radar dishes, and they don't suffer hearing loss from listening to loud rock music or shooting guns. Since they live in the woods a deer knows what everything sounds like that belongs in the woods. Then there's that sense of smell; if deer were trainable, prison wardens would use them to track escaped prisoners or maybe we could teach them to point pheasant and quail.

A really nice rack is a great bonus, every deer is a trophy.
