Just trying to get an idea of how your perceive deer perceiving you. If you think it is a tie between two selections, select the one that has less votes.
No it isn't any tie between nothing and nothing.

A smart deers best sense is not even listed as one of the selections, unless you choose other.

A smart deer when he comes within my weapon's effective range ............. just lays down, stops breathing and gives up.

That would be it's best sense - common sense!

Cha-ching!

I think a deers BEST sense is ....moving at night

Very true. Since they have the ability to see in what we consider dark, then eyes or vision should be considered as more or most important.

The idea is to try to understand why he knows someone is close and learning from it.
