cunning III some Respects, But Very
/ ".. Stupid in Others.
In some respects deer are very cunning,
in others they are wanting in that degree OF
animal intelligence which would protect
them from harm under most circumstances
When their trail is followed, and one is at
rest. it will always be Cooking backward
They have been known to double their trail
to confuse q hunter. Their sense of smell
is keen, and when to the leeward of a per-
son they will detect him when a long way
Oft and speedily make their escape. They
are also keen of sight, but do not seem al
ways to have understanding. Motion seems
to be their principal warning of danger.
ANY woodsman knows how easily you can
drift in a boat very close to them. if you
remai n m%otionless. So in the night time
they seem dazed bv the light of the night
hunter and will suffer him to approach very
near, often within a boats length and sven
closer. When a deer is run by dogs, the
hounds and deer may pass very near to ono
standing by the course they are running,
and it will stand perfectly still and
witness the race. They will visit the same
p ace almost daily for food and water. thus
exposing themselves as no other animal
that I think of will do. But wisdom In
creases with age; these statements apply
more particularly to deer less than five or
six yearG of age. An 'old buck ia u most
difficult subject to kill. Experience has
taught him that the chances are against
him and he will contribute little or nothing
In aid of his own destruction. He is
familiar with every device and trick of the
hunter, and only seldom is it that his judg-
ment is at fault and he suffers the penalty.
During the mating season, however, when
nobody cares for the flesh of Il buck, he
becomes half idiotic and risks his life IN
the most reckless manner.
Deer are of a very domestic nature.
They can scarcely lie driven permanently
from the homes of their selection, not even
by dogs. Their greatest enemy is the pan
ther, and where panthers are the most
plentiful the most deer are usually to be
found. Nothing will startle them more
than the scream of a panther. 1t is SUI
prising that many fawns escape these
beasts, for they are utterly without protec-
ton further than that which ther weak and
slender legs supply. 1t is a curious fact
that while dogs can readily scent a deer's
tran, a panther CaliIiot do so, but must
watch his opportunity to spring upon his
little opening just above the hoofs of the
hind legs gives the scent which so often
leads to their destruction. II is commonly
supposed that this scent was given to deer
to enable them to seek the whereabouts OF
ssoh otass; but un tn5s suggestion Pho n05po ws' a long e
seems to be no better understood than are
of the spleen in human beings.
The agility of this animal is wonderful.
With a foreleg broken, q deer will out
run a dog, and is almost equally agile
with q hind leg disabled. This fact
not disabled. I have heard guides
declare upon honor that they have known
