HABITS AND ALERTNESS
A deer's defense is not its antlers. Doe do not have antlersand bucks do not have antlers that can be used as weaponsexcept for a short period in the fall. Their defense is theirfleetness of foot and being just downright smart. They aremasters of strategy; they usually outguess their enemies, in-cluding Homo sapiens, or is it Homo skunkus; at least someof this genus rate the latter classification.
Their senses of sight, hearing and smell have been de-veloped to a degree not known to man. They can smell anenemy or a friend a quarter of a mile away if the wind isright. They can see any unnatural object or movement. Theycan hear and distinguish any unnatural sound.
