Do deer know when the season is over? :)

[Lastcast#1]

Just a funny thing that I have witnessed the last 2 years..I pretty much hunt Christmas to New years day..I also bow hunt early december..NYD is the last day of the season in Michigan..

This year, like the last, I was seeing the same does in the same general area a few days in a row..These deer had been ultra cautious about entering the open woods from adjacent bedding thickets along the marsh...January second of both years I ended up doing some scouting...Both years I encountered deer in the evening working thier way out of the thicket into the woods...Theres a hiking trail less than 30 yards away which runs parrallel..Group of 5 or 6 does let me walk by less than 25 yards away..Even stop and look for a few seconds..No way on this green earth would that have happened just 24 hours prior...It just seemed like they were way too relaxed...Funny, and I am sure only coincidental behavior..Deer know when the season starts thats for sure..Do they know when it ends? :)

One observation point: Last year I had a cell camera up at a location that semi-regularly had been baited. Only pics middle of the night and of doe and a couple scrapper bucks. The season ended on a Saturday, and the very next day, a nice 8 point buck strolled in front of the camera mid-afternoon.

Deer have iPhones. They not only know when the season ends, they're on the beast too....

I agree.

Deer also know the difference between a preadator and a hiker. When we hunt we change the way we move through the woods and I believe that deer can tell the difference.

Jumped a buck out of a bed in a river bottom a few years back. Had a big flood earlier in the hunting season so there was a bit of trash down there. Within 5 feet of the bed were a couple beer cans and the cover of a playboy magazine. Couldn't make this up if I tried. Still shocked I never took a picture of this

So I would definitely vote no on fireman for a bucks calendar based off this
