Deer defend themselves by kicking. They are very muscular and a kick from one can break a bone. The hooves are not sharp but can cause a serious cut. I have witnesed Deer Standish on their hind legs and lashing out at predators to fend them off. Bucks will use their antlers to fight off a predator. I have witnessed them fighting each other during the rut but have never witnessed them fighting off a predator. I have however-been charged by a Buck with his head down so I assume they use them against other predators.

Deer use their keen sense of smell to avoid danger as well as their extremely sharp hearing.

They will remain motionless for long periods to avoid danger.

Deer do not have very good eye-site and see in black and white. But they are extremely good at seeing motion.

Given the chance- deer simply run. They are very fast an agile and can outrun most predators. I would say that that is their biggest defense.
