They are born with a certain degree but i can tell you it is alot easier to kill a 1 or 2 year old than a mature buck so that must say they learn it too as they get older and more mature.

I personaly think that it is genetic. If you consider that deer in the big woods ie. wilderness areas. where the deer may have very limited or no contact with humans let alone hunters are still very cautous. One whiff of human scent and they will still bolt. So with little or no human contact this leeds me to belive this is a genetic trait because at what piont would have the learned this.
