Bucks or Does,under two years,I would classify them as dumb as a piece of firewood.21/2-3years,you got to be on your toes to hunt them.4 plus years,they did' nt get that old by being stupid,and thats what makes it interesting.Here in MD,we have a major problem with too many deer,so there is alot of " firewood" to go around...Bob

Rob hit the nail on the head in my area!!!

Fairly nervous until rifle season which pushes them over the edge to neurotic.

Mine don' t even rate. I would have to say BRAIN DEAD!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, these deer don' t really care much about anything. These deer see humans every single day and are so stupid that they just don' t care about humans. Heck, my best hunting spot is located between an airport, housing development, and a maxium security prison. This area is all " broken wood lots" which means that there are just patches of woods that are broken off from each other either by fields or houses, ect... These deer just don' t care. Scent is probablly the least of my concerns when I go into the woods. Noise doesn' t bother them either.


On the other hand, one area I hunt the deer are so spooky that it isn' t funny. Heck, young deer won' t even start moving out of bedding areas till right at dark.
