Interesting! Makes complete sense.

Maybe deer just don’t like hearing about sports
Some do. Some don't. I just might...

so, what it really comes down to is, anything that a deer does not hear in the woods regularly that is non-threatening, they think of as threatening. I wouldn't say this is a surprise at all. I would be very interested in what the response is to sounds like metal clanging together, climbing sticks scraping down a tree when setting them, a squeak of a stand or platform, a human cough, sneeze, clearing throat, and other sounds that may accidentally happen, but would not be as obviously threatening as an SEC football press conference or a predator howling. I would also set the speaker to play the sounds about 50 yards away so just the proximety of the sounds weren't as immediately threatening.

Good points and I was curious about what other sounds had an impact as well. Not sure if they did that or if it just wasn’t presented in the video.

Sounds to me like the study was just differentiating different predator sounds, but it's not an accurate representation of the sounds hunters may potentially produce. Like many "scientific" experiments, the outcome seemed to be obvious before the experiment even happened because of the way it was set up. Or maybe I'm just critical of research due to my background and training in science and medical fields.

Trees that make animal sounds are what spook deer. His timetables aren't exactly correct... Millions of years he says for the wolf sound....yeah I disagree with that. Also, God said that the fear of you will be on all the animals and well... He wasn't lying
