Why would he associate body odor with humans? Seriously. Think about it.
I have. They are prey. We are boogers.

He doesn't associate that smell with anything except that he doesn't know what it is. When that smell scares him, he then associates it with danger. Most hunters are carrying guns, so it's not a stretch to say that deer may be more afraid of scent of gun oil then they are of body odor.
Yes, it's a stretch. You are using your brain too much. They are not humans or even primates. You give them way too much credit.

Maybe so, but I know this. Pressured deer are afraid of humans, nonpressured deer aren't. They learn.

Young deer aren't afraid of scent, usually. Old deer are.

Deer that see bonhunters on the reg, usually aren't scared of them. Makes me think they aren't born afraid of humans, but rather learn to be.

Maybe I'm over thinking it.
