You got it Brian!! They have a will to live 100,000 times more then any human could ever come close to. The mighty Whitetail deer is an unbelievable animal, they deserve much more respect then allot of hunters give them!
they have an unexplainable instinct

Shultzy, I give them their respect. Heck, I've been known to walk out of the woods and give the deer I'm hunting their props on my way back to the truck. Especially on closing evening. But, I always let them know I will be back also. I can't explainthe amount of respect that runs through my soul for these animals.

You can tell by how some people post in these forums in the amount of respect they have for these whitetails. Some of the comments are unbelievable. I'm sure you've seen them a few times on here. I've given them a shout out a few times as well on the last day of the season usually saying "alright you SOB's, you beat me again"!

Deer have been around a lot longer then mankind. Living in the same house for hundreds of years. As said in a previous post, we are darn lucky we win any battles. But like all, we taste victory just once, or see someone else taste it, we are determined to keep trying, bc we know there is a Chance we could possibly win one more battle.

Planets HAVE to line up for us to be successful. Here's what has to happen:
Speaking strictly bowhunting
1. You have to have such an animal in the woods you have access to. if they aren't there....you can not kill them even if everything else (including you being a great hunter) doesn't line up in your favor.
2. You have to be in the woods when he walks by your stand.
3. He has to walk by your stand.
4. He has to walk within bow range of you.
5. You need to remain undetected both before and during your draw sequence.
6. He has to offer you a legitimate, ethical shot.
7. You have to execute said shot.
Now.....what are the odds that a particular deer.....(much less a particular CLASS deer) comes down THAT trail....on THAT day.....and offers you THE shot?
The odds go up as the number of (_______ class) deer in your area is/are lowered. But whatever they are......the odds are NOT in your favor.
Jim's correct. There's a helluva lotta luck involved......moreso for some, than others.

They area prey animal, they were design by nature to be eaten by predators. The same nature that design them to be food, also gave them an instinct to survive.
If you werethe main course for predators for millions of years, you might walk a little slower through the woods
