I believe some deer are very smart. I remember a first day of doe here in Pa. with snow on the ground. My wife had shot a doe early and we were leaving around 11:00. We drove down into the valley and there was a herd of deer circling way out in an open field in front of a farm. They did not know where to go and they just milled around in a circle while slowly moving to the side. There was one good sized buck in the middle and he tried everything to keep a couple deer between our truck and himself. No doubt in my mind he understood the concept of what a rifle could do.
