Do deer know when its deer season?

Do deer know they are being hunted?

How good is a deer’s vision?
When it comes to vision, however, a deer’s vision is poor at only 20/100 vision. Although a deer may sense something is around them, they cannot focus on it unless their nose is pointed up for both their eyes to see. They even see better colors than we do and are not colorblind, as once thought.

Do cigarettes spook deer?
Of course, deer can smell cigarette smoke. The truth is that there is still no scientific support to explain whether cigarette smoke can affect the hunting rate of deer. Many hunters spend hours trying to reduce their body odor. While other hunters smoke when they hunt and claim to be very successful.
Are deers smart?
Are deer really that smart? Keen senses of smell, vision, and hearing have a lot to do with deer “intelligence.” Deer often sense the presence of hunters long before hunters sense them. Those individuals, males and females, that are most wary and hyper-vigilant, tend to survive hunting seasons.
