Had this deer here all summer, 50 yds from back door, deer season opens and he has gone into hiding
My wife believes they know when hunting season begins and the smart ones go and hide.Someone gave him the F&G season book is MHO
I agree with the wife. We have certainly "patterned" hunting season in the last half decade. Deer are used to cars/trucks. They see and hear em all the time. They see and hear 20x the # with the loud drunken camps on thursday nite and their mommies and daddies have taught them its time to go deeper in the woods and/or nocturnal.
Seriuosly, how else did he stop showing up? Unless of course he got shot. They know. Now the real question is how do the know the species thats in danger that thursday nite. We all see bulls n cows during deer season and bucks n does during elk season so how they know yer after THEM?
I believe the issue is they are told...by us.My wife believes they know when hunting season begins and the smart ones go and hide.

The sudden increase of noisy smelly people stumbling through the woods indicates that something has changed, which changes their patterns. So in essence, they are doing what prey naturally does when they are alarmed.
