deer do it just fine and all they do is mindlessly forage until they smell something and visually acquire it.
At best you could recognize berry leaves but if you are close enough to do that you'll probably notice the berries on the plant already.
>finding a deer camouflaged in the woods is great too when you're hungry and you have something sharpDeer are not camouflaged against a backdrop of trees, only when they are on the ground.
You can associate tracks/droppings with deer and track them, but that is not recognizing patterns in noise unless you very specifically train yourself to do that. No human can do it naturally unless tracks are very obviously in mud.

There is almost no pattern recognition, sighting them is almost exclusively movement based.
That is why many states require orange vests: many hunters will just shoot at a moving bush since it's roughly the same luck as spotting one that isn't moving.
Finding a dead deer "in a thicket" after you shot it and it goes out of sight is very difficult because it's not moving.
A guy told me a story about his 12 year old tracking a dead deer after shooting it and he was looking at a spot of blood on the ground wondering which way the deer went. The dead deer was about a foot away from the blood, the kid literally didn't notice.
