    They remember your scent for life.

    They know where all their relatives are as they smell their hoof prints on the ground.

    To help understand them imagine reducing your senses to their level, sight only goes so far in scrub, so sound and scent they work with.

    They have scent glands in the eye duct for head height scent markers, back leg glands for resting/bedding scent markers and scent glands between hooves for ground based scent.

    Their knowledge of sound would fill a book as would more than the over simplification of their capabilities and uses/importance of scent mentioned above, they know their whole world this way.

    Real easy to over roar a stag this late in the roar, even a couple of roars can be too much.
    I roared in a Sika spiker the weekend before last, but he was pretty hesitant when coming in and my lack of patience caused him to spook. Based on the fact its so late in the roar now he probably just wasnt interested/new something was wrong.

    Very unlikely...the volumne of the roar is not indicative of the size or age of the animal...
