Deer are smart!

DP12 · Jul 17, 2018

I got home early today and was looking out the window into the back yard when I saw something moving in the brush. Out come these three bucks. I watched 'em for five minutes or so when all the sudden they bugged out into the woods. Turns out the UPS guy had arrived, bringing with him the 500 rounds of 308 165gr soft point I ordered for the Remington 700 I just bought. They knew it was time to get outta Dodge!

Y'all come back again soon now, y'hear?

Nice neighbors you have there!

Your neighbors have got some real nice racks. Like real, real nice.

if they were actually smart, they would stop playing chicken with trucks and automobiles. but they, especially the bucks, have some innate sense they have a price on their heads.

Nice bucks!

You're talking about VA deer, I think, davsco. These are SoMD deer...they're smart and know when the bullets have shown up on the UPS truck! lol

I had a bunch of does and fawns coming through over the weekend, and I've been running into individual bucks and does out in the woods just past the range in the back 40. This was the first time I've seen a pack of bucks on the property, and the racks are indeed impressive.

If they are as smart as you think, you wont see them after sept 1.

DP12 · Jul 17, 2018

But....I have no intention of ordering more ammo after Sept. 1. So there will be no UPS truck supplying deer-getters to give give the game away!

Unless they've got calendar reminders, they don't stand a chance!

Mwa-ha-haaaaa!

Deer just seem to know when its time to dissappear.

Deer are not very smart, but most hunter aren't either. No one is in the woods and then people walking every where in the woods. :rolleyes:

We walk around the woods we hunt a lot to make sure they are used to having us around.

Nice bucks there. Bachelor group buddies now. They know when bow season starts also.

That all depends on how old(mature) you like your deer.

Archeryrob · Jul 19, 2018

I'll take them any age, but the like the horns more mature. This Bastage came by my stand on a Tuesday, i think, when I needed to be in DC. He is walking down our access trail they we walk and scent heavily. I had the next two weeks off to chase him. No one ever even saw him at 200 yards again on the farm. :rolleyes:

I think he has a thyroid condition, look at that neck.
