Cold? Like Stealth?

I think it would depend on where you live. If there is a large deer population, and you have a short commute, the nod goes to the deer safe car. However if you live in the desert, commute 100 miles both ways, and never see anything bigger then a rattle snake, the nod goes to economy.

The environmental component of evolutionary pressure.

Cars adapting to circumstances , deer also.

GOOD ONE!

I doubt that a "deer-proof" car is actually practical. A deer could damage a semi traveling at 70 mph. I Mexico they put huge cowcatcher type iron grillwork on the front of trucks, but I have seen trucks where these have been ruined by hitting cattle or donkeys on the highway.

I have also seen a small burro lifted about 15 feet in the air by the impact of a semi. Luckily, it landed off the highway.

During King Philip's War, Benjamin Church, and a dozen or so colonists, operated with the Sakonnets against the sachem, Philip, Massasoit's son. The Sakonnets had some strict rules the english colonists had to live by.

"The Sakkonnets also insisted that silence was essential when pursuing the enemy. ................Creaking leather shoes wre not to be tolerated; even the swishing sound made by a pair of thick pants could be detected by the Indians." from page 322 of "Mayflower" by Nathaniel Philbrick.

Wool shirts, being eminently silent, were unmentioned.

Do you mean to imply that the $399 shirt is quieter than a cheapo $79 wool shirt?

By the way, don't clothes get quieter after being been worn?

Did you hear me come in?

Back in 2000 I was in Ohio enjuying a winters night with a walk.

When I came around a corner I met a grizzled veteran enjoying the night sitting on the stoop watching the stars.

He was wearing a wide brimmed hat with a feather in it and his countence bespoke his bloodline .

When he noticed me he said I was very quiet for a white man.

I felt very complimented , at first.

Well, yes.
Were you wearing a $399 wool shirt?

You should not have asked for extra starch.

==============================
Why would anyone feel a need to be very quiet when just going for a walk?

He probably says that to all the palefaces.

Being quiet in the woods is the best thing to do.
You can sing in the shower , you can tap dance on the stage.

But in the woods you want to be the audience , the show is tremendous , but full of subtleties .
If you pass through silently you see a lot more you hear a lot more .
A quiet time in the woods lets you leave with more memorys of the woods and less memory of you in the woods.

Exactly Plane. It's an entirely different experience.

I have spent a lot of time in the woods, much of it being quiet, while in the Scouts and later. But it is not essential to be quiet, after all.

I suppose that depends on what you are trying to do.

I have been inthe woods with a lot of boys before ,I learned some things that way.

But when I am silently in the woods I can learn other things , by being quiet I allow the woods to operate around me , more than I impose on the scene.

If you go through the woods haveing a conversation with your freinds you might have a good experience , but you won't see a Turkey.

I agree that North American wildlife avoids chatty people. I have seen a lot of Central and South American wildlife while not making a specific effort to be quiet.
