Default RE: Do You think deer can detect human outline?

Remember too - deer see almost all the way around them, but, have no depth perception while looking straight ahead.
I have read this a lot here on the this board, and I can' t dispute it except for wondering how it is they can run through the woods so flawlessly, both night and day, if they have such poor depth perception. Can anyone explain this?

They can be running at full tilt (what is that- 30-40 mph?) and all the while jump perfectly over every obstacle, swerve around every tree and keep their antlers from hitting low hanging branches. Sounds like pretty good depth perception to me, unless if I am misunderstanding what depth perception does.
