Do Deer possess a Sixth Sense?
This video from Deer and Deer Hunting TV is very informative. I do believe myself that deer will remember where danger is or was. I believe that they will remember where the best acorns were and were the best bedding was and so on. The whitetail deer was for the lack of a better term built to adapt and overcome.

I think that deer definitely have a sixth sense, and that they definitely remember a variety of things.

I know that no matter how great a stalk I put on a buck, as soon as I draw back - even if it is completely silent, that buck is going to know something is up. Same with an elk - there comes a point as you call ‘em in that they’re going to realize something’s not right - and when they realize it, they’ll be gone.

Arthur & Tom, thanks for stopping by. Any hunter who has been around deer enough I think will agree with all of us on that one.

Deers are smart! That’s for sure. Well, IMO all animals have instincts. Only, that deer’s instinct id distinct!
