19 Fascinating Deer Behaviors Explained

[@In-The-Wild-Outdoors]

Great video!. I've been bowhunting deer for 30+ years and this channel still continues to teach me things. This is the stuff deer hunters need to focus on, along with shooting their bows year-round.

[@DeerAssociation]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed this one.

[@tgrask1]

We have a couple of City Deer, living in our neighborhood. It’s awesome to watch a mom and her kids working their way up the street.

[@KnowAll-u6l]

The way you explain complex ideas in such a simple way is truly amazing. I can’t get enough of your channel!

[@swampwhiteoak1]

This is an excellent video. The descriptions and explanations are accurate. The videos very well illustrate the behaviors. We see deer behaviors every day and enjoy the experiences.

[@DeerAssociation]

Thank you very much!

[@lonewolf286]

I am 68 years old. I have learned things from watching this video then I have never known. It has been very entertaining and educational

[@SuperheroDon]

Great educational video. THANKS! Now if I could only get my uncle and my father who know EVERYTHING about deer to watch this!

[@DeerAssociation]

Thank you! Good luck with your uncle and father!

I’ve also noticed that deer will blow if they smell you, but won’t necessarily run. They’re just alerting the other deer in the area to your presence. Typically it’s accompanied by stomping.

[@strajee]

Just last week I had a doe sitting under my stand stomping and blowing for ~3 minutes just standing there.

I really enjoyed this. Fun to watch...

[@gregstabryla9945]

Very good video. I knew some of these things but know a lot more now. Thanks.

[@rfgonzo]

Very good information. Unfortunately most hunters have no clue or won't take the time to learn deer and deer behavior. They could be a lot more successful if they know all this good information. I've always referred to the vomeronasal organ as the jacob's gland so you taught me somthing new. Never see your channel before but I will be subscribing.

[@thomasedin9342]

Super informative video

[@DeerAssociation]

Thanks!

[@DenisOSullivan-t5w]

Thank you for this informative video and nice footage about the behaviours of whitetail deer. Our European Red and Fallow deer display a lot of the same behaviours, so this ought to be useful to anyone interested in hunting or observing cervids.

[@DeerAssociation]

Yes, a lot of these behaviors will apply to other deer species. Thanks for the shout-out from across the pond!

[@davecarroll9715]

First time seeing one of your videos. It was excellent and I subscribed. The only thing I can disagree with is deer have been around for 4 million years.

[@francisconti9085]

I walk with wild whitetail deer. We visit, travel, overwatch, & mingle as neighbors..sitting with sleeping deer, I have FLIR video and dashcam IR video documenting us resting in the grass or soft spots in woods..I have followed their development and visited strange deer for over 40 yrs, seriously studied & lived with a matriarchal lineage for over 25 years.. "people have all the answers" is the problem. Remember what the people who "represented GOD & upheld the LAWS of Moses" did to Jesus.. I don't speak for God, I listen..working together, living together with, and "listening to" wild deer families, I have always been closer to God than when I return to humanity.

[@davecarroll9715]

@@francisconti9085 I don't disagree with anything you stated. Pretty sure I never stated any laws of God if that is what you were referring to.

[@francisconti9085]

@davecarroll9715 I have been having a few lively conversations with several folks in the comments here, some believe different "opinions" as to creation in human sense or evolution, or evolution being a creation of God, & more.. we humans make simple complicated, need acceptance and certainty..kinda get lost in ourselves.. then fail to see others' experiences as they do.. I'll have to review your comment..and discern the source context of your comment vs what it's face perception seems to be.. The joy of being human is that everything makes sense, just not to us, not yet!😂

[@francisconti9085]

@@davecarroll9715 OK, here we go into academic "standard of the moment" : -First ubgjlates 50 million years ago.. -deer evolved over 30 million years..had tusks, & still had upper incisors.. -6.8-4.3 million years ago deer looked different, were smaller, but evolving.. 4-3.5 million years ago, whitetail deer differentiated..and remain the oldest species of deer in the world.. Personal opinions and beliefs, religious or scientific standards vary.. All I do know for certain is that I've walked, worked, lived alongside wild whitetail as neighbors, as co-equals, respect them & have the saying "we only eat the tourists" (balanced populations are critical, human disruption requires compensation) *I've learned more from my deer than human acedemic/social knowledge sources. I quickly question my own beliefs & perceptions..the world we see is bigger than our experiences..

[@markt725mt]

Agreed

[@paulcoenen7918]

One thing i would like to know is average time they bed in one place and does it vary depending on time of day or night. 😊

[@francisconti9085]

*I'd be interested in seeing further study into deer vision, I have "new insight" as to how they use hearing & vision, and scent evaluation/verification. How deer overlap or segregate fields of vision, broad and fixed bi-ocular overlap, and the fixed bi-ocular has a more "square" iris presented, but HOW does this conscious selection of vision relate to "view focus" & actual focal length difference, upon that section of retina..🤔

[@matthewbeers7746]

This will be my 11th consecutive season in the woods and I’ve only heard 1 snort wheeze in the wild.

[@RealGrandpaBullFrog]

Most never hear it

[@paulcoenen7918]

Yep . I have 45 years in and never heard it but I have heard and seen a couple things that very few people have heard or seen. 1 example, a dominant buck coming into a feeding area like a freight train smashing blow downs and logs stomping and bounding high into the air, letting everyone know he is coming and you better not stick around if you know what's good for you . 😅

[@srgtkankles]

I've heard snort wheeze atleast 1x a year for past 8 year seasons. 2.5 to 4.5 year old. Talk about a rush

[@timothydavey7569]

The one behavior I am unaware of why they do it is does playing chase. Sometimes even jumping up and nibbling eachother or rearing up and kicking a little

[@Bert889]

Do mule deer show similar behavior?

[@scottmckenna9164]

Pursue white tail with “more”? Do you mean with slingshots or spears?

Great video and footage! Thanks for putting it together. However, no, this strategy did not "evolve". By design my friend. Awesome is right! Conservation major, biology minor- the more I learned about evolution the more it disproved itself and pointed toward the Creator. God Almighty. Jesus of Nazareth.
