I think that deer have poor hearing. On at least 3 seperate occasions I have only shot my rifle twice during the entire year. The first time was missing the deer, and the 2nd time was shooting the deer as he did the Scoobie Do run trying to figure out which way the shot came from so he can run in the opposite direction. Three seasons ago I shot a buck and dropped him, then turned and shot the doe he was following because she was standing there trying to figure out WTF was going in.
I hunt on a 12' deer stand in pretty thick woods, so maybe the echos screw with them. I smoke and drink coffee in my stand, and after a night of beans and beer at deer camp, I usually let loose with plenty of raunch biscuits. Granted I am not bow hunting, but nearly all of the shots I make are at 30 yards, which most bow hunters can hit.
