RE: deer not to smart this time of year?
Dontcha know deer and turkeys ARE literate? They read the same pamphlet by the Game & Fish Dept that you and I do. They know when its their season and when they can get some " R&R" . The place I hunt in southern MO is INFESTED with turkeys and has quite a few deer as well. Getting close to turkeys while deerhunting is easy and they are actually annoying at times. Yet try the same in April when they are " tablefare" and see what happens. The same go for deer. It takes some work to walk up on a deer during season, but we continuously get within bowrange of them during the spring while turkey hunting.
They aint quite as stupid as some would have you believe,
