The point I was trying to make, Schultzy.....is the "whistling" we hear won't be audible to OUR ears from that vantage point. "Whatever" the deer hears will be (admittedly) amplified from our perception.....but the point is....it'll be less than what most think.

The deer I killed Saturday didn't hear any whistling and neither did any of his 4 partners. They still ain't figured out what got him. But in there defense, as I was walking up on my deer I walked right through a yellow jackets nest and got stung 7 times.

Times that by about 100 from what we can hear. Deer can hear unbelievably!

Is this true Schultzy? I've heard, not from any scholarly sources, thatthe hearing of deer is pretty comprable tothatof a human. I haven't done anyresearch on this, but I was wondering if you have...or if you're just speaking from observation.

Either way, I don't think it matters.
