How Good is a Deer's Hearing?

The directional hearing of a deer is truly amazing. They can pin point like crazy where that twig snapped or where that squirrel just rustled the leaves.

Sometimes I wish I could rotate my ears like that!

HA I got a visual!

.... and now BSK has just gotten out of surgery, where he had the ears from a deer he killed surgically attached to his head. He is expected to have full muscle control of the ears within 7 to 10 days.

Now that is imagination at its best.

I don't know how good their hearing is. Last year I had a nice 8 point come up form behind me while in a tree stand. I let him get about 10yrds in front and cooked my gun. That deer didn't think about it he was gone.
