If they didn't learn, remember and pattern us humans. Everyone would have a large set of antlers on the wall, instead I have read only about 1% of hunters will kill a deer larger than 160".

I hear guys all the time say, we just don't have deer that big here. All I can say is just cause you do not see them, doesn't mean they aren't there. They have out patterned you and know where you are.

Yes, the rut changes things but, that is with all males. throw it in front of us and we loose all thought and reason.
